Tsunami-Shaped Clouds

     The Replica Report is proud to be the first content outlet to bring you this story of Tsunami-Shaped Clouds under the heading of Extractionism or what some call simulacra / pareidolia.  The first Extractionist, or person who noticed the resemblance these clouds bear to water waves, is impossible to discern and more than likely happened simultaneously throughout the town.
     On the morning of December 16 residents of Birmingham Alabama were treated to Kelvin-Helmholtz Wave clouds.  Of course everyone began photographing the event, something that would never have happened if not for their Resemblance to water waves.  In fact, there is a good chance that not one person would have photographed those clouds intentionally that day.  Also, it is because of the Resemblance that news outlets all over have given time to a series of clouds complete with references such as " a surfer's dream".
