For those who don’t know, these are called mammatus clouds (literally coming from “mammary”). They are typically found on the trailing edge of large thunderhead cumulonimbus (anvil-shaped) clouds.
Oh cool haha! My mom asked me what kind of clouds those were and I was more clueless than a grandparent with a smart phone. I thought they were just neat cumulus clouds.
