Related: About this forumStunning Cloud Formation Appears Above Portugal
On Monday, the Portuguese were stunned by a terrifying cloud over the island of Madeira. The bright orange formation looked as if it was a burning clenched fist.
The cloud was spotted by weather blogger Rogerio Pacheco. His photos soon got attention on social media. People had all kinds of speculations, comparing the unusual cloud to anything from a Hand of God to a burning fist, or even a comet from the video game Final Fantasy.
As soon as I saw the sky, I was immediately intrigued and I just had to grab my camera to take photo, said Pacheco. For me, the cloud looks like an outstretched hand with a fireball.

I'm convinced there's a message being sent for some reason. Mostly thinking that it's a sign that WE SHOULD WAKE up before it's too late. Whether it's political or climate. Perhaps BOTH!
