Saw these clouds quite often in Ghana. They were bad news and usually meant i would be standing in freezing cold rain and high winds for the rest of the day:(
Hunting for pics but cannot find them, I had some beautiful ones...

Hi BAD NAV,
These Mammatus "Mamatosies" are quite common in KZN.

Awesome clouds.... seen in a few times in Postmasburg as well. Really looks great after a storm and the setting sun causing the amazing lighting effect. Looks like "doomsday" .....
I hope to take a photo of these clouds when it occurs again. As for Lenticular clouds, one can often see the extreme examples over Table Mountain and I am sure Morph can vouch for this!
Have a look at a series currently running on SABC2 on Friday nights called SuperStorm. Some of the footage comes from real Typhoon / Hurricane disasters.
