Outflow from a severe storm hoisted a turbulent arcus cloud’s underbelly into a classical “whale’s mouth” formation, ironically sending a potent current of wind through turbines that were braked for unknown reasons. Had they been functional, this would have chipped a bit of juice into the Oklahoma power grid. I’ve seen unbraked turbines generating power in other thunderstorms—even in a multiple-vortex tornado. Several minutes later and miles eastward, this feature would reflect a peculiar band of sunset light.
