Sign From Heaven?

Resembling an Aurora Borealis display in the daytime, or a sign from Heaven (I'm not sure what the sign might be for--it can't be for the Cubs going to the World Series), a long-lived crepuscular ray display graced the skies over Cedar Rapids and Hiawatha Iowa around midday on Wednesday, October 19, 2016. The display persisted over a few hours. The above image looks south from a US Bank location on Council Street in Cedar Rapids at 11:35 am CDT.
