Weird clouds over downtown Boston

Abigail Matzeder took a photo of the mammatus clouds over the Back Bay this evening. Dan Kissam took photos of the same clouds over Allston.

Channel 5 reported debris from Monson fell in Upton, 50 miles away. Stephanie Bradner reported from Dedham:

Debris was falling in Dedham MA from 6-630 PM - leaves, branches and other items falling from much higher than treetops.

Jenn Martinelli said, if nothing else, East Boston got an interesting sunset out of the storm:

Looked out my window in Eastie and was completely freaked by these things. It looked like Steven Spielberg was handling effects for the afternoon. And yet...I could hear a plane circling and jets over at Logan -- couldn't tell if they were taking off, but I would hope not.

If I saw a movie that had clouds like the Squaw Valley ones in the Wikipedia article that Adam linked, I'd think the special effects guys were making stuff up.
