Very strange indeed! Not sure what to think of that...did anyone say how solid the ring got before it began to dissipate? The cloud formations directly to the southeast of Australia look weird too...they look kind of warped, striped or just unnatural and you really don't see any other cloud formations like that around in the other pics.
We should keep our eye on the weather in the southern hemisphere over the next few weeks to see if anything extreme happens. Not too long after the Norway spiral the northern hemisphere plunged into the coldest winter in over a century in some places.
Thanks for sharing Viking!
