Have you ever seen mammatus clouds?!

OMG I just saw this for the first time in my life, but they are real!

Maybe some of the photos are enhanced, but they occur. [wiki]

 

[gigglegirl]

that looks wicked cool. i don't think i've ever seen it here ever in my life--yet

 

[persephonewillo]

i've never seen them in real life. they look like someone sprayed a giant can of pressurized whipped cream into the sky. LOL.

They had a tv program about these rolling clouds on a month ago and it was amazing! I'd love to see them. Apparently they always occur at the same time each year and it draws in a huge crowd of photographers and tv reporters ect. How amazing would it be to see them!

Wow, that is so cool!

 

[MACATTAK]

Those are really neat, but I've never seen them!

they kind of look like balls. One of those pictures looks familiar, like I never saw a whole bunch of them at one time but for some reason i think maybe I saw a little bunch of them? Or maybe they just kinda looked like these?

Either way, its cool.

LoL I saw balls. Or maybe nipples. either way its pretty cool

I love love love nature's wonders!! Storms, waves, clouds, aurora borealis...aaah, I want to see more of them in real!!

Hehe, did you read wiki article? Why is it called mammatus?

The name "mammatus" is derived from the Latin mamma (breast), due to the resemblance between the shape of these clouds and human female breasts.

I thought they looked like boobs too.

I've never seen them in real life either, but it would definately be pretty cool.
