These are more commonly referred to as Ghostbusters clouds.

They may also be seen in Poltergeist. They seldom seem to bode well.

Anyway, cool pix, but I thought we were already referring to these types of clouds...

... as mammatus (ummm, yeah, "titty-like"). Have they been reclassified or something?

I think mammatus clouds are somewhat different to these - these ones look rougher, more ...twisty/swirly?
I love clouds.
