Epic pre dawn sky this morning! Our first NLC's this year!

Wikipedia: Mammatus (also known as mammatocumulus, meaning "bumpy clouds") is a meteorological term applied to a cellular pattern of pouches hanging underneath the base of a cloud. The name "mammatus" is derived from the Latin mamma (breast), due to the resemblance between the shape of these clouds and human female breasts.
We had a bad storm come through this evening, high winds & little rain. This is only the 2nd time in my life I've seen & photographed "mammatus clouds. The first time was 10+ years ago in Florida.
