Lenticular Clouds Over West Alabama

Got this note within the hour…

“James I don’t know if you or any of your folks saw this today or not, but
at one time (~14:00 cdt) over the West Alabama area today (mainly looking
back to the N and NW) there were dozens of Lenticular Clouds, perfectly
capped stacked circles. It looked like we were being invaded by flying
saucers. I have never before seen clouds like this in Alabama, only over
mountain ranges out W. Of all days I left my camera at home loaded with
Easter Pics from Sunday.

Take care,
Randall Oliver”

I actually did save a frame from our Tuscaloosa SKYCAM around 2:15… and you can see the clouds that prompted Randall to send the note. Anyone else with any pictures?
