Sometimes the smooth clouds generated by the Sierra Wave develop horizontal striations, making them look like the Warner Bros. tasmanian devil. I have no clue what makes this possible.
@cliffordbeshers as an Australian who spends time in Tasmania, it’s always funny to see people refer to the Tassie Devil as the Warner Bros character, not the Australian animal
@joshua Ridiculous, right? Though my neighbors visited Tasmania just to see them and said the encounters they had, WB wasn't far off.
@ohBananaJoe Yes. I live in the Eastern Sierra, surrounded by amazing wilderness and vistas. And I have fiber to my door. A telecommuter's/photographer's paradise.
@kulturnation It is indeed a lenticular cloud. They appear when the winds form standing waves over the mountains. This region is famous for them. The local publication is called "The Sierra Wave".
