Joey Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 This could go in the photo section, but I thought I'd share the cool pics of before and after yesterday's storm. The before clouds I had never seen before (anyone ever seen these clouds before?). We sure got a good slammer and I thought our birch tree was toast for awhile there. Here they are, hope you enjoy: And then after: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey Posted July 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 Wowzers! The before pics look like fingers and a thumb curled into a fist! I've never seen that before. Me neither. I was thinking more the stay fresh marshmallow man from Ghostbusters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davey buoy Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 Weird weather,and never seen those types of clouds either.B nothing but a drop here.6-8 km maybe?. Funny how these storms hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 They're called "mammatus" (Latin for "udders") and form at the base of a storm cloud. Great pics, Joey! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ehg Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 Wowzers! The before pics look like fingers and a thumb curled into a fist! I've never seen that before. Those rounded finger like clouds are called mammatus. The after pictures were further storms that didn't come to fruition. Mammatus are seen on the back end of severe complexes after they pass. My guess is that weather that was stronger passed to your northeast. Only see mammatus about once a year in around GTA. We only had a FEW drops of rain in downtown Toronto but we had stormy looking clouds and a bit of mammatus as well. The main storms were northeast of here. Nice pictures!

lew Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 Crazy looking clouds for sure and some great pictures Joey. We got some heavy rain over this way for awhile too and it was very welcome as it was the 1st rain in 15 days. Could still use a bunch more though.

I must agree, even though we got a good storm, I think the bigger portion was either northwest or south of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sinker Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 Love a good storm! Nice pics, Joey. I wish I had my camera with me yesterday. I had skies similar to what lew posted. We still need a lot more rain though. Great pics! S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solopaddler Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 As a weather guy I love these kinds of spectacles. Last night at the Hamilton airport the show in the sky above was unreal. Great billowing purple/black clouds with multiple bolts of lightning shooting out from inside. When it passed directly overhead I thought maybe an alien spacecraft was landing LOL! Very cool pic's both of you guys! (And they're not mammatus, they're cumulosarcoma ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danc Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 OK....then you or Misfit Please direct me to the photo section.... It's a photography forum BB, not a photo forum. Big difference.

Leecher Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 Nice pics Joey and Lew We got hammered pretty good last night... actually twice with heavy rain, extremely strong winds and hail (some the size of toonies). My cousin who lives 15 minutes away from me, his neighbor's house got hit by lightning and caught on fire I saw him on the 6 o'clock news and he said that he immediately called 911 after he saw the bolt and smoke coming out of the roof... while they we were waiting for the fire fighters, they used their own water hose but it wasn't enough The fire was spreading fast The good thing is that no one was injure.

pics Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 We got at least 5 or 6 inches of rain judging by the amount of water in all the buckets around my garden. Our road was closed due to flooding and the local timmies was surronded by water... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
