Felt like we were in a sc-fi movie. We always carry our cameras so.. Needless to say we have photos of them in color and infared! They look fantastic! I cannot wait to get these printed and posted on line.

Then there was a huge tornado. A couple years ago when I lived in Oklahoma I saw Mammatus clouds, the whole sky looked like the bottom of an egg carton, and it was orange.

We, along with the other outdoor diners, were treated to a massive Mammatus cloud formation. No one before had ever seen these spectacular clouds, everyone was taking pictures. The formation became even more spectacular as it absorbed the sunset lighting. It was an amazing event. My husband and I were seated at an outdoor cafe in NYC last night following a thunderstorm.

I have, thanks, to this site found that it was Altocumulus Castelanus - really awesome. It was forming as I flew over Aylesbury, England and was disapating about an hour later as I drove home to Hemel Hempstead, England I was having a flying lesson yesterday and was amazed by the cloud formation I saw.

I have been following a storm chasers website and he has taken the most awesome pictures. He has tornadoes, Mammatus Clouds and Shelf clouds. Because of this I plan on traveling down Route 66 and then going where the wind takes me. I hope to see some Mammatus Clouds in action. That is what I am aiming for. I have already been through 2 tornadoes so that's not a thrill anymore... :) I am traveling this summer to KS, IA, MS, TX and NE to chase storms.

I have had the pleasure of witnessing the formation and disolve of Curris Kelvin-Helmholtz cloud formations. This year, Jan. 11, 2009, I was ready and got several pictures of the formation and disolve of these beautiful formations West of RIverton.

By the way, did anyone know that the Morning Glory cloud seen in Australia is a type of roll cloud? They, like other roll clouds, are a result of the gust fronts that comes from storms out in the Sea of Carpentaria. Similar phenomena occasianally occur in Germany, Mexico, and Canada. Also, mammatus clouds are usually observed after the worst storm activity has passed, but because of the way they form, they ARE associated with a higher risk of severe weather, since it's a sign that the air is very unstable. Instability in the atmosphere encourages strong thunderstorms to develop. Therefore, if storms has just passed, and you saw mammatus clouds, AND you know someone who lives in the direction the storms are heading, it might be a good idea to call them on the phone or email them, and tell them to keep an eye on the sky, just in case.
