(3,626 posts)It's that bright because the sky is clear behind the photographer with plenty of light to illuminate the cloud, which is part of the storm formation to the left and rear. This is exactly the kind of situation that spawns tornadoes. Which I'm sure why our storm chaser was here to get the shot, but it's not really a place you want to be unless you're a daredevil.

(9,797 posts)I dropped out of aerospace optics on one of those regularly scheduled layoffs. Found other things to work on. Was fun while it lasted. JWST is literally out of this world amazing.
