Wow.  Looks like another faux(pho)-POV ;-) (when someone tries to pass off
actual photography as a POVRay render)

If I recall correctly, you also live in the midwestern US, perhaps that's
why the clouds look so exactly like what I'm used to seeing.

How did you do the rain(?) in the 3rd one?

On another topic, how much difference does Rayleigh scattering make?  In the
scenes I've tried, I can't tell much difference between scattering methods,
but I'm probably using poor examples.
