These are the coolest pictures. Please, Ian Riese-Moraine, make with the weather-geek explanations.

that's a cool photo, but i've seen much cooler, eerier photos of mammatus clouds, where the sky and the clouds were orange.

Wow what makes these kind of cloud formations? Ive never hearf of a mammatus before, and I have cetainly never seen one. I assume a localised air/weather pattern causes it. They look so painted on! So thick and hard-edged! Creepy almost.

One nice thing about living near Mt. Shasta for a while:

Mammatus clouds are formed by sinking air instead of rising air like most clouds. The sinking air has to be saturated and colder than the air surrounding it. They form underneath other clouds.

Wow, those are lovely. Interesting weather!
