An interesting sight was spotted by individuals in Midland, Texas of a cloud known as Hole Punch cloud or Fallstreaks Tuesday afternoon.
The cloud received its name due to the resemblance of a circular gap in the middle of a cloudy sky and giving the appearance of cloud streaks falling from the center. This is a rare phenomenon that can be explained with science.
The event takes place in mid-level clouds that are made up of what are called supercooled water droplets, water below the freezing state of 32 degrees, but not entirely frozen as it remains suspended in air as clouds.
