Mammatus clouds spotted...

11-01-2005 6:30pm#1Well since we've had such unusual severe weather so far this year, I was further shocked to spot a mammatus cloud formation around 3pm today (tues) looking S from Blackrock, Co. Louth toward Drogheda and out over the Irish sea.
Now these clouds are usually associated with tornadic activity. I know we had one hell of a squall (vertical rain) prior to this at around 2.30pm but we certainly had no twisters that I'm aware of.
I was pissed I had no camera with me (took pic on phone but it sucks) as the low sun was lighting them up great.

Here's a pic and a link for anyone that doesn't know what I'm talking about. I've seen some spectacular ones when I lived in the US but never even heard of them here.
Maybe Weathercheck can shed some light as to whether we had twisters or even t-storms here today that would account for this since they only form on the underside of the cloudtops.0
