This Cloud Formation Over Lake Erie Looks Like a Demon Falling from the Heavens
You know that those who make their living on the open waters have their superstitions, "red sky at night, sailors delight" and all. But when you see this cloud formation captured recently over Lake Erie, you may just think there's credence to those old yarns.
