Earlier in July, storm chaser Alex Schueth captured a mesmerizing time-lapse of undulatus asperatus clouds rolling over Lincoln, Nebraska during a storm. The rare cloud formation, whose name means roughened or agitated waves, looks like a sea of dark and stormy waters churning ominously in the sky.
