They are lovely and there is science to explain them.

Years ago, a friend's young daughter, seeing a photo of lenticular cloud said: Yeah, that's a 'mountain hat'. She wasn't wrong.

But you have to be following weather or fire porn to see it.

I follow both because I live in a fire prone area.
Must have info to know when to get out.

I'm used to earthquakes and fires.
The fires scare me. Because I can see them. Earthquakes? I've been in California my entire life, so I'm really used to them.

Thank you for the good wishes. I'm sending some back to you in case of hurricanes!
