Pictures of a very rare happening of Mother Nature. Just awesome. Enjoy.
The stadium lights are at the Hastings College stadium in Nebraska. The clouds are called Mammatus clouds and there's a link on this URL that tells about them. They do not precede a tornado, or fortell 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.
