What Causes New Yorkers to Stop and Stare?


A magnificent sky at sunset, of course. A few nights ago a spectacular display was seen above New York City that forced everyone to look up in awe. These clouds appeared shortly after a dramatic storm. They are known as mammatus or mammatocumlus clouds, and form usually underneath the base of a cloud, most often a cumulonimbus cloud. It is wonderful to think that even in Manhattan, a stunning sky can bring a few moments of fascination and marvel to everyone below. I love instances like those. Every worry is forgotten. So inspiring!
