The above picture was taken by me the other day as I sat waiting for a green light. These clouds were really weird looking. They were all bumpy and looked like the end was near. So, I took the picture just in case they meant my end was near. People looking at my phone afterwards would nod grimly and say, it was the Mammatus clouds that got him.
These clouds are formed when a thunderstorm collapses upon itself and the cold upper air comes flying down through the cloud layer. It produces the bumpy cloud surface we see.
It made me wonder about our slowing local market here. During the Summer sales dip a bit because everyone is busy going on vacation. We see the market perk up again towards the fall. So if you are trying to sell and it seems to be slower than you like, think of these Mammatus clouds. They look scary, but they will be gone soon to be replaced with sunshine.
