TRABUCO CANYON, CA — Before the storm, there are always signs.

Local resident Scott Knight captured one of those signs early this week in Trabuco Canyon.

"OK here we go — a 'Lenticular Cloud' has formed over Trabuco Canyon," Scott said of the photo. "Nature's way of telling us a weather change is coming!"

A weather change did indeed come, with scorching temperatures and smothering humidity blanketing the region through the week — and a savage surf wreaking havoc on the coastline.

Thank you for sharing your photo with Patch, Scott!

If you have an awesome photo of nature, breath-taking scenery, kids caught being kids, a pet doing something funny, or something unusual you happen to catch with your camera, we'd love to feature it on Patch.

We're looking for high-resolution images that reflect the beauty and fun that is Orange County, and that show off your unique talents. Photos should be horizontally shot, high quality — and no selfies, please.
