Details:
Early yesterday evening we had severe thunderstorm warnings. We could see the storm approaching from the west. The skies got really weird and ominous looking with strange textures. It almost looked like there were irregular holes in the clouds. My wife and I were amused by all the faces and animals we imagined we saw in the strange cloud formations. Our pareidolia was definitely inspired by these clouds. I believe these to be Asperitus Clouds (originally called Undulatus Asperatus), which is a relatively new classification of clouds. Whatever they were, they were dramatic and amazing. Thankfully the storm that followed was not too intense.
