Next Up, Corrine...
And her weird clouds.
I've never seen clouds like these before.
When Corrine first gave this to me, I thought it was a joke!
See, Mammatus clouds. Like mammary. And the clouds look like...
Oh, nevermind!
And before you laugh too long, I'm not alone!
This comes from Wikipedia;
Mammatus cloud
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mammatus (also known as mamma or mammatocumulus, meaning "breast-cloud")
There, see! And you were laughing at me.
I'm hurt.
But it's nothing a beer can't fix!
Here Corrine, you take this. I'm getting a beer!
Ever see anything like this?
Jorn Olsen works for the Dutton-Lainson Co. in Hastings, Nebraska, and lives by Heartwell Park next to Hastings College . The other night he took these photos . The stadium lights are at the Hastings College stadium just east of his home.
The clouds are called Mammatus clouds . They do not precede a tornado, or foretell a storm, but are formed when the air is already saturated with rain droplets and/or ice crystals and begins to sink. The worst of the storm is usually over when these kinds of clouds are seen.
They are quite rare, but really beautiful.
