WWIII? Fears of nuclear blast after 'huge mushroom cloud' appears over city A BIZARRE nuclear explosion-like mushroom cloud terrified residents when it loomed over a southern Russian city. Social media users dubbed it 'Chernobyl Sky' in a grim tribute to the nuclear power plant explosion in the Ukraine in 1986, then part of the communist USSR. The mushroom formation hovered over Tyumen in south-central Russia's Tyumen Oblast region before being driven off by the wind. One social media user wrote: "Chernobyl-style sky... Crazy. Like a nuclear explosion happened there or something. Sky was unreal." Another joked: "It'll either rain heavy real bad soon, or USA will drop nuclear bombs on us." Local meteorologists said the nuclear-style image was simply a natural phenomenon caused by weather conditions causing a column of could to soar nearly 20,000 feet into the sky. One of the meteorologists - Nina Soldatova - told local media: "There are more than a hundred cloud types and yesterday people saw a cloud that's not really rare."
