Ever seen anything like this?



Ever see anything like this?

Jorn Olsen works for the Dutton-Lainson Co. In Hastings , Nebraska , and lives by Heartwell Park next to Hastings College . The other night he took these photos. The stadium lights are at the Hastings College stadium just east of his home.The clouds are called Mammatus clouds. They do not precede a tornado, or foretell 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 kinds of clouds are seen. They are quite rare, but really beautiful.
