4.      Mammatus"clouds boiling upside down", on top of a flanking down draft.
Mammatus, also known as mammatocumulus(meaning "mammary cloud"),
is a meteorological term applied to a cellular pattern of pouches hanging
underneath the base of a cloud.

9.      Sunset on dissipating thunderstorms.
Could have two cells rotating in opposite directions, rare,
but meteorologically possible, like two egg beaters.

11.  Volcanic eruption creating a circular outflow boundary.

12.  Somewhat disorganized or dissipating thunderstorm.
Most of it already downward collapsed with the rain shield being dominant.

13.  Single cell thunderstorm with cloud to ground and cloud to cloud lightning,
some beingimbedded inside the cells.

14.  Tornadicvortex w/lightning, multi-layer outflow boundaries.

Surface dirt starting the kick up.
