| Caption | A hole punch cloud appears over Gainesville, Florida, on February 8, 2012. Hole punch clouds, also know as fallstreak holes, occur when supercooled water vapor clouds experience a runaway conversion to ice crystals. The instigating event is often the passage of an aircraft through the cloud. | |
