~ Incredible looking storm clouds (Mammatus Clouds) ~
Oh Wow, this is what the sky looked like before the thunderstorm hit, how incredible are these clouds they looks so ferocious!!!
Mammatus clouds get their name from the cellular pattern of pouches hanging underneath the base of the cloud and are usually associated with severe thunderstorms.
We have been having thunderstorms nearly every afternoon at the moment but its been a long time since I’ve seen these amazing clouds…this time we didn’t get hail thank goodness, just a lot of heavy rain, thunder and lightning.
Images were just taken with my iPhone as the storm was approaching very quickly and I worry about getting hit with lightning!!!!
