Photograph used for a story in the Daily Oklahoman newspaper. Caption: "An enterprising Oklahoma photographer saw this cloud near Pauls Valley. He thought it looked like an atomic bomb mushroom cloud. So he took the picture. The weatherman says the photographer is right. It's a cumulus variety known to the forecasting trade as a "weather factory." It's built just as the atomic mushroom by tremendous heat generated in the center. This causes a big upheval and the cloud build fast. Sometimes they will shoot up as much as 30,000 to 40,000 feet in a few minutes. When the mushroom sticks through into the freeze ceiling, that's when the rains come. it's seldom a heavy rain. More often the rain falls in light showers confined to a relatively small area."
