you're not using a client that supports colored tables and have tried
to compensate. Low graphics mode looks much better on clients that
do... we recommend switching to Netscape 3.0 or Microsoft Internet
Explorer.

Sometimes very
ominous in appearance, mammatus clouds are harmless and
do not mean that a tornado
is about to form; a commonly held
misconception. In fact, mammatus are usually seen
after the worst of a thunderstorm has passed.
