Cumulus

I arrived home on Monday night to find that when I switched on the water heater (cumulus in French), it triggered the trip switch and all the lights went out. A visit from a friend who's a plumber confirmed my fears: it was too far gone and it was simplest to replace it, which luckily he could do that afternoon.

Up to me to take it to the dump, where it found a bigger brother to keep it company. It always amuses me that they don't resemble cumulus clouds in any way, except for being white. And maybe containing water.
