Thunderstorms and Mammatus

Tonight there was an amazing display of mammatus clouds overhead. There were a few storms to the north and south, but the atmosphere was extremely turbulent overhead, I wouldn't be surprised if Michigan got hit by some really nasty tornadoes tonight.

Friday night saw some very violent storms, which produced a beautiful array of lightning strikes. The storms recently have been amazing in both the rate of strikes and the amount of rain that has fallen.

The Friday night storm was preceded by an amazing microburst, that dropped the temperature 15-20 degrees in a couple of minutes! The clouds continued to be extremely turbulent as the actual storm approached a half hour later.
