1. That last one looks like a wall cloud.
I wonder if it spawned a tornado.

6. It's the moon, according to the info on the website at the link.
The photographer notes that the moon is visible in the upper right in that photo.

7. I don't know about the top two, but the bottom one is NOT a recent pic.
I've seen this one all over the internet for years--I think it's from a tornado chase in 2005.

Just so you know.

8. Folks, if you ever see anyting like that third cloud,
GET THE HELL OUT OF DODGE! I don't know the name of it, but I think it's an even bigger indicator of tornados coming than dirty cottonballs are.
