Billowing Beauties

Cumulus clouds exhibit vertical growth as they approach Bowman Woods Park in Cedar Rapids around 5:25 PM on Tuesday, October 12, 2010. The clouds were part of an unusual summer-like line of thunderstorms which moved in a northeasterly direction and nearly stretched diagonally across the state of Iowa. Temperatures were in the low 80s at the time of this capture. This view looks west over Bowman Woods Elementary School.
