flanco Posted June 8, 2010 Report Share Posted June 8, 2010 This is way off topic, but I thought it was interesting. S.W. Missouri made weather history today. And nobody got hurt or lost a home. We had a strange little storm here this morning, not much of a storm but some weird clouds that haven't been seen before. The U.S. Weather service has named them "Undulatus asperatus". Thought you might like to see them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marblemansion Posted June 8, 2010 Report Share Posted June 8, 2010 wow - cool - my father was a meteorologist in the US Airforce during WWII - he always taught me about cloud formations and weather patterns - those are truly amazing. Here - you will really enjoy this http://www.cloudappreciationsociety.org/gallery/index.php?auto=1&showimage=6477 - sorry - no marbles here.

popeyecollector Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 For obvious reasons - always thought this pre tornado sky was called a "mammary cloud formation." It always looked like the bottom of an egg carton or muffin pan. The weather service must be going to G rated descriptions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobandPat Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 We had some fast storms come through a few days ago. This was something I had never seen before... kinda looks like all that's left of the top of a tornado. Our sirens did go off a couple of times, but no confirmed sightings. This was just before sundown. Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubba1 Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 mammatus clouds are more densely packed together and well defined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have Microsoft windows just right click the photo and say "open with" then use "microsoft picture manager" In the picure manager you click on "fix" and the right column will pop up to "resize photo" boring the pics posted are way cool..

flanco Posted June 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 Don't mean to beat a dead horse, but I found this on a local web site and I thought it was too cool not to pass on. Photos of the same storm from a different viewpoint. Clouds look like something from a sci-fi movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ann Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 ONG. I'm afraid if I'd seen that I'd still be burrowing down in the earth (the end is coming! the end is coming!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
