Mt. Rainier Puts On A Show!

THIS IS AWESOME - 14,500 ft. 

 ~  

Some of us NOT living in Tacoma, 

Washington or surrounding areas will 

appreciate these pictures. Some of 

you who live in the Portland area 

may have seen this before? It was so 

amazing, people were pulling over 

on the freeway to take pictures.

These are called "ventricular clouds". 

They're caused when the winds are 

just right, so when they flow over 

Mt. Rainier, the air gets pushed 

upward where it cools and condenses 

into clouds. Depending on the winds,

you can get some amazing cloud 

formations as you are seeing.

It's usually a sign of rain within 24 

hours, because typically the moist flow 

that precedes a storm around there 

is the perfect set up for these clouds.

After reading the title, 

"Mt. Rainier puts on a Show"

I thought YES.... And 

 GOD was the Director!
