These extraordinary images show a series of wavelike clouds looming over the south coast.
The unique formation, known as Undulatus asperatus, develops when undulation in the atmosphere causes air to move up and down.
When wind makes contact with the base of low-lying clouds, a striking wavy motion then appears.

Although they appear dark and gloomy, they usually dissipate without a storm following.
The incredible shots, taken on an iPhone, were captured by amateur cloud photographer, Simon Hammond, in locations across Dorset.
The 48-year-old said: 'When I first saw them I thought, 'this is something quite special. It was pure luck that I stumbled across them as I hadn't headed out to take pictures.

The Cloud Appreciation Society are clamouring for the cloud shape to be recognised as an official cloud type by the International Cloud Atlas.If accepted Undulatus asperatus, which translates to 'roughened wave', would be the first new classification in 65 years
A federal lawsuit has been filed against Kentucky County Clerk Kim Davis for denying a man a license to marry his laptop computer. The plaintiff, Mark "Chris" Sevier, also has filed lawsuits against Governor Matt Bevin and Kentucky Attorney General Andy Beshear.
Sevier, a graduate of Vanderbilt Law School whose law license was suspended in 2011, previously filed similar suits in Texas and in Florida. Sevier says he is trying to prove that marriage between a same-sex couple has the same legitimacy as a human marrying an inanimate object.
"This lawsuit is frivolous," said Mat Staver, Founder and Chairman of Liberty Counsel. "There is obviously no right for a man to marry a machine. When you make gender irrelevant to a gender-based relationship you open Pandora's box and make a mockery out of marriage," said Staver.
A new study finds that roughly 26 million Americans remain "too poor to shop". The study, performed by America's Research Group, found that about 26 million Americans work on average two or three jobs at a time which, when added together, nets just shy of $30,000 in annual income. All while supporting anywhere from two to four children.
The chairman of ARG, Mr. Britt Beemer, said in an interview with the NY Post that he first started looking into data when he was tracking a different indicator. Beemer first started tracking a group and surveying roughly 15,000 people to determine who had not finished Christmas shopping in 2014. During that year, the number was 21 percent but recently ran as high as 29%. From there Beemer decided to analyze the data further and learned American's are seeing increasing numbers of fellow citizens who are simply just too poor to shop.
Beemer told the Post: "The poorest Americans have stopped shopping, except for necessities" and "It's scary when you start to see things that you've never seen before"..."People are so pessimistic about their future"
Just this past April we wrote: "most Americans' savings continue to decline, and millions of US households not only don't have any money left over to save away, but are forced to resort to credit to fund day to day expenses."
Recall from January the piece from the Atlantic that review that weak state of American's finances. The Atlantic learned that nearly 50% of Americans were not in a position to find $400 to pay of a doctor visit without reaching out to friends So not only are 26 million Americans too poor to shop, there are also 2/3 of Americans who have no savings.
"Various surveys that I have talked about in the past have found that more than 60 percent of all Americans are living to paycheck to paycheck, but I didn’t realize that things were quite this bad for about half the country. If you can’t even come up with $400 for an unexpected emergency room visit, then you are just surviving from month to month by the skin of your teeth. Unfortunately, about half of us are currently in that situation."
As The NY Post details, retailers have blamed the weather, slow job growth and millennials for their poor results this past year, but a new study claims that more than 20 percent of Americans are simply too poor to shop.
These 26 million Americans are juggling two to three jobs, earning just around $27,000 a year and supporting two to four children — and exist largely under the radar, according to America’s Research Group, which has been tracking consumer shopping trends since 1979. “The poorest Americans have stopped shopping, except for necessities,” said Britt Beemer, chairman of ARG.
Beemer has been tracking this subgroup for two years, ever since his weekly surveys of 15,000 consumers picked up that 21 percent of consumers did not finish their Christmas shopping in 2014 due to being too busy working.
That number grew to 29 percent last year, and Beemer dug in to learn more about them, calling them on holidays. He estimates that this group has swelled from 6 million households four years ago, because their incomes have not kept pace with expenses like medical costs.
Nearly half of all Americans have not seen an increase in salary over the last five to seven years, and another 28 percent have seen their take-home pay reduced by higher medical insurance deductions or switching to part-time jobs, ARG found. “It’s scary when you start to see things that you’ve never seen before,” said Beemer.
“People are so pessimistic about their future.” Most of those living on the edge — 68 percent are women between the ages of 28 and 38 — work in retail or in call centers, according to Beemer.
Another sign that a chunk of the population has pulled back its spending is that discounters like Walmart and the Dollar Store have been “holding their own,” said Richard Church, managing director of Discern Securities.
The story of the increasing difficulty facing Americans in maintaining their standard of living continues... even after almost 10 years of Federal Reserve market-based intervention.
Here is Soros choice for President. He will see her elected at any cost.
The Common Sense Show and its related personnel stand horrified at the tragic events in Dallas as at least five police officers have been assassinated by at least two snipers. Our deepest sympathies and hart-felt prayers go out to the victims and their families. We further pray in the name of Jesus that the wounded experience full recoveries.
This tragedy begins with the following video where President Obama addresses the nation regarding the Dallas tragedy. Every American needs to take the brief time necessary to view his short speech as Obama, once again, disgraces his office with his warped and petty politics in this time of tragedy.
As the video shows, Obama cannot contain his seething hatred for law enforcement (i.e. “racial disparities”, in reference to how law enforcement does their job in this country). I am outraged that while this raw event in our country is used to politicize both his hatred of police and of course, he could not contain himself from sneaking in gun control comments. Ok, Mr. President, you opened the door in this raw tragedy, I will meet you on your turf.
In the video, Obama is undoubtedly still trying fan the flames of racism. He did it with Treyvon, later Ferguson and now in this horrible tragedy in Dallas. I can draw no other conclusion than this President is attempting to bait more blacks to engage senseless violence against their communities in a classic divide and conquer mode. Obama is not a healer in times of great tragedy, he is a divider of the worst sort. The good news is that the vast majority of black people have the good common sense to not fall for Obama’s twisted version of social justice. I appeal to people, of all colors, to not take the law into your hands. Yes, there are bad apples in our nation’s police forces, just like there are bad apples in any form of work. However, the vast majority of police do the work that most of us don’t have the strength, skill or courage to perform. This is why a tragedy such as this hits so close to home. God Bless the Dallas Police Department, the victims, the friends and the families of the victims. And I damn Obama’s lack of sensitivity to these groups. It reminds more of Attorney General Loretta Lynch(mob) as she warned America to not use the term “Muslim extremism” or face legal consequences while she failed to utter a word about the 14 victims and their families after their brutal murders at the hands of two members of ISIS in December of 2015.
Obama’s Racial Bigotry Must Not Go Unchallenged
When Obama failed to express remorse for the Dallas tragedy with regard to the people who matter most in this event, his agenda is on full display for all to see. Who else, associated with Obama and Hillary Clinton, is attempting to rile of feelings of racial division? Why it is none other than George Soros. I have a message for Obama, Clinton and Soros:
POLICE LIVES MATTER!!!
As I have stated before, I have first-hand knowledge that Soros’ thugs from Black Lives Matter and Moveon.org have booked scores of rooms for the Cleveland GOP Convention in a couple of weeks. One can bet that they are not going to Cleveland to become good Republicans and support Trump. And since this President is already politicizing this tragedy for his own gain, I feel compelled to meet him at the door-step and expose what I feel is really going on here.
The Globalist Playbook
One of my colleagues in the Independent Media once said that he had the globalist playbook and was to fully able to decipher the meaning of events in real time and predict what was coming. I know what he meant. For anyone who works in this field, we can often see right through the agenda. Since Obama will not allow a few days of grieving without bringing his propaganda to bear in the Dallas event, he must be challenged.
Obama said nothing is known about who is responsible for the Dallas event. On the contrary, this event is right in the wheelhouse of the former Nazi collaborator, George Soros and his multiple groups of thugs, criminals and murders. If I were in charge of the Dallas investigation, Soros and his people would become my main focus. Why? Because national division is a goal of the globalists so we cannot unite across religious, ethnic and racial lines against the crime syndicate that has hijacked our country. Remember, most nations fall from within before they are actually conquered. Obama has fully exposed part of the Globalist agenda with his comments.
The Crime Scene
Please allow me to point out the obvious. The Dallas event is not a random act of violence. It has all the appearances of a well-planned assassination. Since when do inflamed passions over police wrongdoing result in at least two snipers carrying out their objective with precision and deadly effectiveness? Did the nation see these type of sniper assassinations during the Watts riots of the 60’s? No! Did we witness this kind of violence during the LA Riots in 1992? No! Did we see snipers in the two rounds of the Ferguson violence? No! Will the mainstream media eventually catch on and report the use of snipers as being an anomaly that is inconsistent with the present narrative? No!
These assassins were obviously highly trained, as they did not merely squeeze off that many well-placed shots wounding and killing that many people without being professionally trained. However, as we learn more about the snipers, I am sure we will “discover” one will have a diary stating intentions and will leave a trail of (planted) evidence implicating this event as a random act of violence. That is always the government’s narrative. However, I would point out that when two or more are involved, it is already a conspiracy by definition. This was a well-coordinated attack, case closed.
The Hillary Clinton Factor
Whether we can prove complicity or not, Clinton, by conspiracy, or by coincidence, benefits the most from this tragedy. Perhaps this is just one big coincidence, regardless, nobody benefited more than Hillary Clinton from the tragic events in Dallas. For the next couple of days, Clinton’s criminality will off of the front page.
After scathing attacks upon Comey for exonerating Clinton for crimes for which she should have been charged, Congress has become involved. The American people are not letting go. One poll I read said that 93% of Americans surveyed thought Clinton should have been charged. Additionally, Clinton is being looked at for lying under oath to the FBI. If anyone ever needed a distraction, it was Hillary Clinton. So, Mr. President, while you want to infer that the racial disparities are responsible for the the Dallas tragedy, let me encourage your FBI, under the stellar leadership of James Comey, to look in another direction. At the top of any knowledgeable person’s suspect list should be George Soros and his thugs.
While I will continue to pray for the victims and their families, I say let the investigation begin.
