Flight Level 390: The Canyon
Belts tightened, slow her down a little more and raise the forward ice shields. We fly through a bright, sunlit veil into a deep, dark canyon of cumulonimbus clouds. Towering storms on both sides give this sight some, for lack of a better word, reinforcement. Twenty miles ahead is a doorway to the west side of this storm line. Underneath us is a canyon floor of clouds between the storms; it almost looks like you could walk around down there.
