I know there are some cloud aficionados here; any guesses? Taken with iPhone while driving.

Those spiky clouds are really uncommon, good catch… I don't know anything about clouds so I'm not sure whether they are supposed to announce good or bad things  ;D

Cool. What cloud type is it? Cirrus? Or jet condensation trails?? In any case, I like it.

Short condensation trail upper left. But for the main lower wide band, I don't know either. Not shown here of course, but it stretched for 30-40 miles; as far as I could see in either direction.

I love interestingly shaped clouds like this. You have to sit and wonder about just what forces it took to sculpt them that way.
