The County of San Bernardino published a photo on September 24, 2026; the image, submitted by Mike Eudy of Crestline, shows clouds over Lake Gregory that the county describes as forming a pair of angel wings.
The county’s post says Lake Gregory is a man‑made lake tied to Redlands citrus grower Arthur Gregory, Sr.; the post states he helped develop the area when it was known as Houston Flat, established the Crest Forest Water District, donated land for the lake and dam, and covered remaining costs when construction funds ran out.
The county provides construction dates and an early filling account; it says construction began in 1937 and that heavy rain in 1938 filled the lake in three days, much sooner than the three years originally estimated.
The county notes current uses and habitat; Lake Gregory Regional Park offers swimming, boating and fishing, and provides habitat for wildlife. The county directs readers to the Lake Gregory Regional Park website for more information.
The “angel wings” description is the county’s characterization of the submitted photo; that is an observational description, not a scientific claim. The county’s post does not provide independent verification of the cloud formation’s rarity or cause.
The county invited further submissions; its post includes a call for readers to submit photos and videos of county destinations and nature. Source: County of San Bernardino CountyWire, September 24, 2026.
