A lot of you are wondering what kind of ominous clouds you saw this morning. Well, they are nothing to be concerned about, and they are called "undulatus" clouds. They often are compared to waves in an ocean, as they can be weaved within each other or parallel. According to the AMS Glossary, "The formation is by gravity waves that exhibit broad, nearly parallel lines of cloud oriented perpendicular to the wind direction, with cloud bases near an inversion surface."
