I was 17 and lived in Kennewick WA. It looked like it was going to be a very nice day and I was getting ready to go for a ride. I remember looking up at the sky just before I walking into a Shucks auto parts store. I thought those are the strangest clouds I have ever seen. When I went back outside just 15 minutes later, it was getting very dark fast! There was no ride that day.Originally posted by BA80 View Post
