Thank you Sylvain for this information. Im so excited that I was able not only to see these rare clouds but to take pictures of them too.

You are welcome Carolyn ! ;-)

Yes, asperatus clouds (or undulatus asperatus clouds) are rare, but not exceptional.
For example, it has been seen one time, last summer (August 2014) here in Paris, France.
Mostly before storm...

Congrats again !
