Mammatus
NOTE: this does not refer to Mammatus, but rather to mammatus, a cloud formation characterized by a cellular pattern of pouches hanging underneath the base of a cloud.
Mammatus formations are often harbingers of strong thunderstorms, or tornadoes. No tornadoes were spotted nearby. In case you wondered.

They are my favorite kind of cloud! The Cloud Appreciation Society has some stunning photos – http://bit.ly/1yOb8lt – all of which I wish I’d taken.
