How do they know it's the same cloud?

[–] bermuda@beehaw.org 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

lol I can't tell if this is a joke but if you're serious...

it's not the same cloud, it's just the same type of cloud that forms in the same place at a regular occurrence, so the locals named it. Seeing as how it forms at 3 pm I'd say it's a different cloud every time.
