Severe weather broke out in the High Plains of Montana, Wyoming and Nebraska Sunday.
The rough weather, which included a couple of small tornadoes, hit mostly remote, sparsely populated areas. The exception was Billings, Montana, which got some large hail.
But Sunday's biggest drama was the cloud you see in the photo. It was a spinning supercell in the middle of nowhere, basically, near Clareton, Wyoming.
I got it from Basehunters Chasing, who are storm chasers with a penchant for capturing beautiful, incredible Tornado Alley storms.

The storm didn't produce a tornado, but it is surely one scary cloud. Like an alien mother ship ready to take over the world, or a giant elephant ready to stomp the hell out of us.
Basehunters were also kind enough to take this time lapse video of this supercell storm. Watch this incredible, high quality weather porn:
For good measure, here's a view of Sunday's hail storm in Billings, Montana:
