My uncle referred me to this site. I've never seen clouds like this and must
indeed be rare. Go to the below website...it's worth the look.

>> The clouds are called Mammatus clouds and there's a link on this URL that
tells about them. They do not precede a tornado, or fortell a storm, but
are formed when the air is already saturated with rain droplets and/or ice
crystals and begins to sink. The worst of the storm is usually over when these
kind of clouds are seen. They are quite rare, but really beautiful. <<
