The stadium lights are at the Hastings College stadium just east of his home.The clouds are called Mammatus clouds.
They do not precede a tornado, or foretell a storm, but are formed when the air is already saturated with rain droplets and/or ice crystals and begins to sink. The worst of the storm is usually over when these kinds of clouds are seen. They are quite rare, but really beautiful.
