It’s not everyday you see something like this<\/h2>\n

A Minnesota woman was driving home when she stumbled across an unusual stormy scene in a viral photograph some are talking about years later for making them feel ‘uneasy’.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Theresa Birgin Lucas, of Bemidji, was heading home after visiting her family at a hospital in Rochester,\u00a0Minnesota<\/a>, when she stumbled across a rare\u00a0stormy<\/a>\u00a0sight.<\/p>\n

She was traveling on Highway 64 when clouds rolled over ahead into what some have described as a ‘seascape of crashing ocean waves’ – though the mom didn’t even notice at the time.<\/p>\n

In her post on\u00a0Facebook<\/a>, Theresa explained she snapped the picture to give her daughter a heads-up of her whereabouts as she had become worried.<\/p>\n

Theresa wrote: “She was freaking out and wanted to know how much longer it was before I got home, so I seriously snapped that photo and said \u2018I\u2019m close to Akeley’.”<\/p>\n

She claims she didn’t even look at the image until she was home and her daughter pointed out it ‘looked pretty cool’.<\/p>\n

Commenting on the bizarre cloud formation, Theresa told the news outlet KVRR: “It seriously looks like the sky is going to unzip.”<\/p>\n

She promptly posted the shot to\u00a0social media<\/a>\u00a0where it immediately took off and went\u00a0viral<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The photograph captured viewers from all over the globe with people far and wide asking her about the stunning scene.<\/p>\n

Theresa joked: “I should be giving credit to my fraidy cat daughter.”<\/p>\n

When some queried if the image was photoshopped or AI-generated, Theresa confirmed to PetaPixel that it was taken on an iPhone 8.<\/p>\n

She explained: “It truly was just a quick picture taken off my iPhone 8, which cracks me up.<\/p>\n

“It is a Live Photo \u2014 it\u2019s funny to watch it, music playing and bug splats on my windshield!<\/p>\n

“I really like the beauty in the photo knowing that nothing has been touched.”<\/p>\n

The viral snap is now making the rounds again as the ‘seascape in the sky’ continues to hit a nerve.<\/p>\n

Users on\u00a0Reddit<\/a>\u00a0said they have been staring at the photograph, unable to tear away and thinking ‘the waves are gonna crash on the road’.<\/p>\n

Another wrote: “It actually makes me feel uneasy. I can’t unsee a giant deadly wave.<\/p>\n

“I don’t like looking at it.”<\/p>\n

As for the phenomenon itself, KVRR meteorologist, Mariah Bush, explained Theresa’s image is ‘very rare’ indeed.<\/p>\n

The expert said: “My initial thought was maybe some basic clouds, cumulus nimbus clouds, or even a shelf cloud, but then after further looking there are some clouds I have never even seen before myself.<\/p>\n

“So, pretty unique, actually.\u201d<\/p>\n

Theresa told FOX 35 News: “I was just lucky to be in the right time at the right place. Not sure why but I was!”<\/p>\n

Having named the photo, Ocean in the Sky, Theresa entered the snap in the Minnesota State Fair competition in 2022.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
