Storm Clouds in Santa Cruz/Felton/Boulder Creek
The clouds are called Mammatus clouds. They do not precede a
tornado, or foretell 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.
