The Year in Pictures: Cloudy:

"Looking out the 11th floor window of her law office, Jane Wiggins did a double take and grabbed her camera. The dark, undulating clouds hovering outside were unlike anything she'd seen before.

'It looked like Armageddon,' said Wiggins, a paralegal and amateur photographer in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. 'The shadows of the clouds, the lights and the darks, and the greenish-yellow backdrop. They seemed to change.'

They dissipated within 15 minutes, but the photo Wiggins captured in June 2006 intrigued — and stumped — a group of dedicated weather watchers who now are pushing weather authorities to create a new cloud category, something that hasn't been done since 1951."
