EUCLID, Ohio (WJW) — Sunsets on Lake Erie are beautful with clear skies and yet there’s something magical about them when Mother Nature mixes in some dramatic dark clouds.

That was the case Wednesday evening as captured by Russell Jones from Jones Drones Cleveland.

Jones told Fox 8 News he took the timelapse video from Euclid looking west and if you look closely in the distance along the water’s edge, you’ll see the downtown Cleveland skyline.

“Nature supplied what looked like orange fire over the Lake Erie sky,” Jones said. “It was a thrill to capture nature’s beauty and intensity.”

Jones said what struck him most was how intense the rolling clouds looked, yet there was no wind or thunder, just sheets of rain on the horizon, a welcome change after severe weather in Northeast Ohio Tuesday night.
