If I was on this boat, I'd be worried. Hell, if I were anywhere near the steering wheel (or whatever it is that boats have), Id turn away as fast as I would on that boat in King Kong when it approached the island.

I mean, seriously. This looks like trouble. But is it? What kind of weather is this?

I'm not worried. Whatever it is I'm sure it will blow over.

If you close your left eye and squint while poking your right eye with one finger while looking in the lower left corner of the cloud you can see a duck kissing Mary Magdalene.

A cyclone? So definitely trouble then.

Should the ship change course or is it too late anyway?

In Texas, the meteorologists call it a "wall cloud." 'Cause it looks like a wall.

Here, it means thunderstorms (possibly violent), but not necessarily tornadoes.

Your picture is the third one on a Google image search of "wall cloud."

I just spent two weeks there.

I much prefer New Braunfels, if I have to stay somewhere.
