A "jawsome" Sharknado-style cloud was spotted over a British beach causing a stir among locals.
The fin-shaped weather formation had beach-goers in Hemsby, Norfolk, joking it looked like a scene from a low-budget disaster film. Sue Wright, who captured the unusual "triangle" cloud on camera, asked social media users for help to understand why the cloud had taken such a distinct shape.
She said: "I looked at the sky and thought there was a triangle in the sky. I posted it on the Norfolk Countryside Facebook group and I've had so many likes and comments."

Locals who saw the photo came up with funny theories, most suggesting that the cloud could signal the start of a horror movie-like event. One wrote: "It's a Sharknado!" while another added: "Sky sharks?! Where did I place my shark-wrangling trousers?"
However, a Met Office spokesperson confirmed that the strange weather phenomenon, seen on December 10, was likely due to heavy rain.
A spokesperson explained: "It looks like Stratus, a low cloud that could have formed underneath some heavy rain or broken off from a larger cloud."
Stratus clouds are low-lying sky blankets that turn the sky white or grey, often seen making the day seem gloomy. These clouds usually form over cold seas and land and mostly allow little light through.

The news comes after locals in a coastal town were whipped up into a panic when they were sent a great white shark alert – meant for a place in New Zealand with the same name.
People who had set up Google alerts for Fortrose in the Scottish Highlands were shocked at the warning of the presence of a giant sea predator in their shores. But it turned out to be an appeal by New Zealand-based Shark Experience encouraging residents to take to the beaches on the other side of the world in search of a tag that had been shed from a great white.
