I dont think I can embed Vimeo video, can I?

Did you try?

yes, but obviously didnt try hard enough

Love that video
and
the Lion City II in previous post

I don't understand why the video doesn't show up in the quote as well:

Try quoting tomos' post and see why.

more storms, great footage

Worthy of full screen and high resolution:

Hmm... I remember learning about the various kinds of clouds in grade school. But I don't recall them mentioning mammatocumulus. Or maybe I was too young at the time to know about or make the connection to mammaries and my teacher neglected to point it out. I only remember a couple of the clouds we learned about, and I'm sure knowing one was named after "boobies" would have made it much more memorable to an immature ~8-10 year old's mind.

this could just as easily have gone in the 'Interesting' thread - only some timelapse footage in it (at least I think it's timelapse).

For what it's worth, in my opinion this video would belong better in the Silly Humor thread. There seemed to be some timelapse in the video, but it also seemed equally non-timelapsed. But it's fine here.

Seems like this answers the question as to why it wasn't taught as a type of cloud:

According to the WMO International Cloud Atlas, mamma is a cloud supplementary feature rather than a genus, species or variety of cloud.

Yet another wonderful and dramatic timelapse from Mike Olbinski (whose name I was spelling wrong the whole time )


and an impressive Grand Canyon one
