First of all, thanks all for the kind responses.  I am posting a source
snipet that should answer a few questions.  A macro is in the works, but it
might take a while...
I used 1 pov unit = approximately 1 foot.

I have placed comments in the attached source snipet.  It isn't a full
scene, just the media block and explanation.  Please feel free to play with
it, and, if someone figures out how to make good thunderheads, please post
your method... I am experimenting with a few things, and I have a
quarter-baked idea for the "Desert" topic (isn't fully formed enough to be
half baked).

Be aware that media clouds have very long render times.
