MAMMATUS CLOUDS
Jorn Olsen works for the Dutton-Lainson Co. in Hastings, NE, and lives by Heartwell
Park next to Hastings College. The stadium lights are at the Hastings College stadium
just east of his home. The clouds shown 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 kind of clouds are seen. They are quite rare, but really beautiful.
