It looks fake, but it isn't. A cloud formation in Seattle Wednesday morning had the ominous appearance of a mushroom cloud.
Kathy Fisher snapped a picture while in standstill traffic on Highway 99.
"What the heck kind of cloud formation (I hope) was this?" she said via the KING 5 Facebook page.
Karla Freeman Johnson also saw if from the West Seattle bridge, looking north.
On Reddit, mahkra26 also reported seeing the cloud formation from the West Seattle bridge.
KING 5 Chief Meteorologist Jeff Renner offered this explanation:
"It looks like remnants from a low deck of clouds. It's apparent these are low clouds from the proximity to the buildings and the very flat tops. Probably 2,000-3,000 feet at most above the ground. That argues against enough depth to produce rain showers such as could produce a shaft. I believe you're seeing a release of steam or exhaust from a ground-based plant rise into the remnant low clouds, producing the 'mushroom' shape."

Realist - Everybody in America is soft, and hates conflict. The cure for this, both in politics and social life, is the same -- hardihood. Give them raw truth.
