Awesome Mammatus in Norman this Evening
Elevated thunderstorms to our west had their anvils blown over Norman early this evening and we were treated to an awesome display of mammatus clouds. Pictures taken by my storm chase partner Tommy Winning.

Yep. My very first tornado backlit by the setting sun about two weeks ago.

"Mammatus are pouched shaped clouds that protrude downward from the thunderstorm's anvil.
They form as negatively buoyant moisture laden air sinks."
