    I have been fortunate to see these clouds "in the wild",so to speak; they are so rare one might only see them once in a lifetime. There are many beautiful cloud types shown on this site; amongst the most beautiful are the enigmatic Mammatus and giant supercells.There are some others I've never heard of or seen listed on any other site I've visited.
