Heavenly Portal

This storm cell--whose earlier radar signature on Monday, June 14, 2010 gave it the potential to become severe west of Cedar Rapids, Iowa--quickly broke up, but soon created this opening in its churning mass that allowed sunbeams to burst through over houses on White Ivy Place NE in Cedar Rapids. The opening, seen here looking west from the grounds of Noelridge Christian Church at 5:50 PM, looked to me like the portal to heaven itself.
