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.
