Weird Clouds
While visiting relatives in Severna Park, Maryland, I visited the Home Depot on Mountain Road, north of the Md2 / Md100 interchange.
Leaving the store, I noticed a row of strange "clouds" in the WNW sky, about 14 long narrow clouds, parallel and evenly spaced. I presumed these were a strange natural phenomena, and took a picture with my wife's screen phone.
