Nature is an amazing place, and I am continually amazed at the many wonders it creates. Among them, these mammatus clouds photographed over Hastings, Nebraska.
Mammatus clouds are rare, pouch-like structures that form in sinking air, often near a thunderstorm. Mammatus are usually associated with severe weather, but they do not mean a tornado or other major storm is approaching. Often, mammatus clouds appear after the worst part of a thunderstorm is over.
If you’re as fascinated by nature photos as I am, and clouds in particular, you’ll likely also enjoy these images of clouds that look like fire.
