No worries, that was just Jesus trying out the new surfboard his pappy gave him for his birthday last weekend.

"The breaking waveforms of 'Kelv-Helmz' (as they aren't known) are the result of shearing winds up at cloud level. A particular type of turbulence can develop in a layer of Cirrus cloud, which happens to form below an inversion* between air currents of differing speeds and/or directions. Sea waves break as their bases are slowed down upon reaching shallow water and their crests surge ahead. Cloud waves break in the same way: when their crests are pushed ahead of their troughs by the difference in air currents."

Not only are they HUGE and far away but they are moving pretty fast and maintaining their shape... Play the video again and skip to the last few seconds of it... amazing Earth!
And 2012 is not the end of the world btw... It is called propaganda... and the government of the U.S.A. is behind it... don't you think that would be important enough for the the government to make effort in letting the people know that 2012 isn't going to be the end of the world and to not panic? I'll leave it at that. Do your homework.
