Weather Geeks Champion New Armageddon-Worthy Cloud

I've seen this formation several times when I lived in Minnesota, and once or twice out here on the farm. "Ominous" is a good description...

In hill country from Iowa to the Scottish Highlands, sky-gazers have reported some strange, ominous-looking clouds of late. Dubbed undulatus asperatus (turbulent undulation), the atmospheric anomaly could be headed where only 80-odd clouds have gone before: into the International Cloud Atlas. If it makes the cut, asperatus will be the first new addition in more than 50 years.
