...over Detroit. Right now, a massive cloud is lingering over the city. Police say calls from worried residents began pouring in this morning. Witnesses say it looked like a large, dark rain cloud, that initially started over Hart Plaza, and withing hours, the cloud spread, now covering a large portion of the Midwest. People in the affected regions say it looks like the workings of an incredible thunderstorm, the bizarre weather events being linked to the cloud, including red lightning, black hail, and super hot gale force winds. Meteorologists remain baffled as satellite pictures and radar shows the cloud is continuing to expand. Experts say that its current rate of travel, the the entire nation will be completely covered in just a matter of hours. Police are asking you please to remain indoors and not panic. The President has ordered the military to be on emergency alert, and they stand by, powerless, forced to watch and wait. As the cloud expands, many people are now placing spiritual significance on its appearance. Leaders from mainstream religions and apocalyptic cults are declaring it to be anything from the second coming to grim consequence of man's abuse of nature. Fueling the speculation are reports from across the country that the only light piercing this churning, inky, shroud are beams of sunlight, which are only falling at places of worship: all religions and denominations. As the cloud continues to expand across the nation, the rest of the world looks on with growing concern.
