Mammatus Clouds Over Manitoba
My neighbors must think I am mad.
Truly.
Certifiable.
Why? Well, who else would be standing around in their socks on the driveway during a lightning storm, taking pictures of the sky?
Well, me actually (um, you DID see that coming, didn't you?).
Anyway, I HAD to, and I did't give a crap what they thought (well, as long as they didn't think I was trying to take pictures of inside their homes, that is...)
But it's so strange. Last week I read on the net about some rare cloud formations called "Mammatus Clouds". Little did I know that I would spot some over my own home just a few short days later. Tonight I took these photos of the quickly-changing formations; within minutes they were re-shaping, moving, disappearing and re-appearing.
From Wiki: "Sometimes very ominous in appearance, mammatus clouds are harmless and do not mean that a tornado is about to form; a commonly held misconception. In fact, mammatus are usually seen after the worst of a thunderstorm has passed."
Read more about them here.
What a show. Er, the CLOUDS, not me in my socks, during a lightning storm on the driveway taking pictures of the sky.

Those pictures are incredible! I love when nature wows us.
I found your blog through Critque My Blog and I must say everything he said about your blog is so true. It is a fun read and one I would love to add to my daily collection of blogs I lose myself in.

I have to admit the pics are great! Can't imagine that it got worse after reading your most recent post. Luckily no one was killed when it developed into a tornado. Scary stuff!
