HOLY CRAP.

I don't know if I've got more than that to say. Clouds like that would make me nervous.

That looks freaky-deaky.

Wow, skies of doom.

Nice! Those are (*cough*) mammatus clouds, I think. They had some over NYC in June:

ETA: Hm, or maybe not? It's a little hard to tell from the pictures. You can decide.

No, I've seen those first hand around a week or two ago, although they do usually come before a bad storm (and indeed they did. That damn storm knocked down a storm window less than a foot from my car and took out the power for hours). They're freaky and semitranslucent and almost perfectly smooth little lumps.
