The post whore thread.

What were your thoughts on it? What's a home like that worth?

They told me a little about it. As to what it's worth I have no idea, but if it went on the market, I don't think it'd be an outlier in price compared to the rest of the neighborhood. The local museum wants it, but they'd have to pay to have it relocated down there, so of course they aren't game. I didn't get to walk around the inside much, but I did see most of the first floor. It was small and cramped. It had a unique breakfast nook that felt like a secluded booth at a restaurant. I'll post a picture if it doesn't have the address. The best part was the super aggressive texture on the ceiling in the restroom. I really like the idea of the airlock on older homes. I'm sure that's not what it was called, enclosed porch is probably a better term.

There was a tornado between Lincoln and Omaha today I guess. I went outside afterward and the clouds were awesome. I've seen pictures of clouds like this, but never in person. I know there is a name for these, but I'm not into weather enough to know what it is. In person I thought I could see a circular pattern to them, but it doesn't really translate into the photos.

Looks like cotton balls.

Not that much uncommon up here. Last hail storm that took out a good sized area of roofs up here had that look, only harder to see due to how packed together they were.

Back in Kansas we called then “After a tornado clouds”

They are Mammatus clouds.

Mammatus clouds are actually altocumulus, cirrus, cumulonimbus, or other types of clouds that have these pouch-like shapes hanging out of the bottom. The pouches are created when cold air within the cloud sinks down toward the Earth.

Well, there you have it.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Yeah those are mammatus clouds, and I had been taught that it was warm air pockets pushing up into the colder cloud deck.

Well the forum member formerly known as Squishy Pants McGee



I can now see your Vanishing Point avatar.

Ah, well that's nice.

The point of having the avatar in the first place, is for others to actually see it. Thank you for sharing your member user experience regarding it's actual visibility.... I appreciate knowing that it is functional now.

Mount Wilson. The bell boy tells me this is the mountain pictured on Coors labels. It's also the view from our balcony.
