The wind really howled for a bit, but we were spared any damage in our yard. Not far from here, big trees blew down, taking power lines with them.
After the storm, we were left with a beautiful display of mammatus clouds:

Hi Em, Saturday, July 12
These are beautiful pictures of the mammatus clouds. Thanks to the call we received, we were able to view them in all their glory also.
This type of cloud doesn’t form often, does it?
