Eerie Glow In A Stormy Sky

The northwest sky at Noelridge Christian Church in Cedar Rapids, Iowa had this eerie orangish cast to it at 8:15 PM, Wednesday, June 8, 2011. This sky spectacle was a bit of a lull from the intense cloud lowerings and high gust front winds of the hours preceding it. The glow lasted about 30 minutes or more before heavy rain, hail--some penny size--and deadly CTG lightning returned.
