As far as interesting natural phenomenon goes, check out the Blue Hole of Belize. Its a natural sinkhole that drops down about 300 feet. [/quote]
YES! This is what I was talking about, this is so cool.
“Dar-va-zeh” means gate.
There is a major boulevard where my cousins live where if you set the car to neutral - it is a steep incline - the car will roll UPHILL. I have been in the car when this happened, too. I’m going to ask him to take video if he can and I’ll post the link. Really creepy.
Also, I remember being in Long Beach and stepping in the water at night and seeing flashes of light beneath my feet. Now, this could have been due to some unusually toxic water - we were in an industrial area - but I’d like to think it was the same phenomenon experienced in the waters of Puerto Rico and off the coast of FL:

GTFO!
I would love to see that, methinks your cousins are playing some kind of tricks on you.
T-Nation field trip to the door to hell. We can even set up some power racks around its edges and get a good pump.

LOL, yeah I’m not sure anyone actually believes that the hill holds any sort of mystical power. Just an illusion, unfortunately.

Yes it does.
Guatemala Sinkhole: this freaks me out. Imagine one moment you’re going about your business, then next moment make sucking sound the earth is gone and you’re falling down a big freaking hole.
Lenticular clouds are the coolest thing ever:
Has anyone ever seen one of these? I haven’t and would love to.

That’s pretty awesome too, I’ve not seen anything like it either.
I still wanna get far north to see the Northern Lights one day.
Mammatus clouds are awesome too.

wow…that is crazy. Reminds me of a pic I saw of a diamond mine in Russia that has caused helicopters to go crazy and crash.

I’ve seen similar, but not so spectacular. I don’t think the type is that rare, it’s just that you don’t often get such a perfect view at just the right time of day.
Mirny Diamond Mine in Eastern Serbia
The mine is 525 meters deep and has a diameter of 1,200 m and is the second largest excavated hole in the world, after Bingham Canyon Mine. The airspace above the mine is closed for helicopters because of a few incidents in which they were sucked in by the downward air flow.
What about ball lightning? I’ve never seen it either ;( I love bad weather.
So what the hell kind of cloud is this?

Weird–lenticular clouds are round like that, people usually mistake them for UFOs. I haven’t seen any that are light around the edges though. Maybe the camera is exaggerating the light?

Apparently it is raining a lot of frogs in Japan: UPDATE: Tadpole rain in Japan ~ Pink Tentacle
I remember when I was 6 or 7 having some old guy on a field trip to a museum tell us about how he got caught in a severe storm while fishing and a few minutes after it ended having frogs fall from the sky and splat all around them. Guess he wasn’t entirely crazy.
