The rare "roll cloud"

I saw this in Iowa about 20 years ago. The cloud appeared to be rolling along in an otherwise empty sky. When it passed overhead, there was a gust of wind - about 15mph. No apparent change in temperature - it was a warm day. Half an hour later another roll cloud followed. Then after another half hour, a third! The clouds extended from horizon to horizon, as in the article.
