Awesome photo taken by @matt_wilson after the storm rolled through Minnesota tonight. Nice cutline, too:

“And that, my friends, is a Minnesotan, post-storm sky.”

(Btw, he used an iPhone app for a little post-production filtering.)

amazing picture and storm.  

ain’t no mammatus like minnesnowta mammatus (well, ‘cept maybe down upon tornado alley proper).

DID YOU KNOW!

it’s off their phenomenal and seminal album hex enduction hour, which you all should know by heart anyway.

(and personally, i think it’s a far better song than that q lazzarus song about horsies)

Also this elephant design is amazing!!!
