whoa mamma!

Had to post these incredible pictures of Mammatus clouds hovering over Lawton in June. I also have to thank my Mother for snapping these beauties and sending me the pictures.
Mammatus clouds are typically born of supercell thunderstorms, near the anvil of the storms. They themselves are not dangerous and not capable of producing severe weather, but if you see these, chances are it's happening within a few miles! Judging from the fact that these clouds are reflecting golden sunshine, its safe to say that hail and damaging winds are occurring to the east of this location. "Mamma" clouds are absolutely stunning at sunset. Here's proof.
