| Photograph of impressive clouds associated with downburst
producing thunderstorms that moved through central Missouri, the St. Louis metropolitan area, and southwest Illinois on
August 13, 2005. On this particular day, thunderstorms were initiated by a slow moving cold front. The thunderstorms began as multicell clusters, but within a few hours, merged into a bow echo structure, enhancing the possibility of damaging winds. View taken from Six Flags parking lot.
