Incredible photos have emerged of a terrifying cloud formation that sparked fears the end of the world is approaching.

Giant clouds engulfed the town of Hinesville, Georgia, US, last week and were snapped by spooked local Johanna Hood.

It was taken just days before Hurricane Irma is due to hit the US.

Jaw-dropping photos and video footage were posted online, gaining hundreds of likes and messages from bemused commenters.

Humble houses appear to be covered by the tsunami-like phenomenon creating a scene similar to one out of blockbuster movies Deep Impact or The Day After Tomorrow.

Johanna, who posted video and photos onto Instagram, wrote: “Welp, it’s the end of the world guys.”

Instagram user emilykhowell wrote: “So scary but beautiful.”

Another added: “Holy crud!”

Experts have deemed the eerie formation as the rolling arcus cloud.

The US has been hit by deadly weather in recent weeks, including the devastating Hurricane Harvey that left Houston, Texas, underwater.

Bizarre weather phenomenons are nothing new.

A “Death Star” formation horrified people in Japan in December last year while a massive mushroom cloud sparked nuclear war panic in Russia.
