Mammatus Cloud

Ever seen anything like this?

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.
