Here is an interesting-sounding paper getting into the nitty gritty of how big convective storm systems on Titan might work and look. I particularly recommend the animations of various storm scenarios in the Supporting Materials. Factor out the different vertical and horizontal scales and you might almost be standing there with your umbrella on the point of collapse - or blown inside out.

Nice work!
