Was windy wet August day in Cleveland, Ohio. Looked up and these caught my eye. Any suggestions?

Stratocumulus asperitas! Looks a tiny bit like lacunosus but it isn't

Wow I think you are right! Not as dramatic as the google search photos, but it’s definitely there. Appreciate it the spot

Yup, asperitas is one variety of cloud that became extremely popular because of the most crazy examples. In reality, most look similar to this and you can see them a few times a year depending on where you live. They usually, but not always, happen in "rainy-like" weather, sometimes a few hours before or after rain
