The terrifying phenomenon was also witnessed by the residents of Crescent Isle a hundred kilometers away and captured by satellites orbiting Earth.
Over that stretch of ocean dozens of miles wide, the heavens looked like a massive pot turned upside down, trapping Ethan beneath it like an insignificant insect. The sight evoked primal fear and despair. Of course, no one could see what was under that "pot," and no one dared to investigate. From a distance, it was just a churning mass of black cloud, flashing with lightning. Any electronic device venturing near would likely be fried.

Suddenly, the churning thunderclouds froze dead in their motion. The very world seemed to shudder with the abrupt cessation.
WHOOSH—WHOOSH—WHOOSH—
An endless torrent of raindrops began to fall.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
However, these raindrops violently exploded upon reaching a certain altitude.
They weren't ordinary rain. Each one was a concentrated droplet of liquid lightning.
