kurt Posted August 5, 2015 Report Share Posted August 5, 2015 We had the tornado, up in Grays Lake. It didn't blow up any houses, but caused major damage to trees and power lines. Nice pic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Posted August 5, 2015 Report Share Posted August 5, 2015 Mike is there a story with that photo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Lamb Posted August 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2015 No rain. The sun came out about 30 minutes later. We have had one day of rain in the last 2 weeks. No story, either. The house was next door to the building I was inspecting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Lamb Posted August 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2015 I was told they are mammatus clouds: Mammatus are pouch-like cloud structures and a rare example of clouds in sinking air. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Baird Posted August 6, 2015 Report Share Posted August 6, 2015 ...mammatus as in mammary like features, as in udders. Very apt Latinized nomenclature IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erby Posted August 6, 2015 Report Share Posted August 6, 2015 I will sleep better tonight knowing this information. Perhaps I'll dream of mammary features! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
