Happenstance or staged? Either way, philliefan99 nabbed this breaking rapture news shot at 6:24 p.m. on May 21, 2011, according to the EXIF data. (Have your cameras ready October 21 for more rapture photo ops.)
One Place Rapture Apparently Did Hit: The D.C. DMV

No 'Rapture' Allowed on Metro?
National security and nuclear arms control blogger Jeffrey Lewis of ArmsControlWonk was on the Red line this morning when he noticed a rather odd new sign prohibiting certain behavior on Metro. Next to the usual diagrams picturing how you must not block, crowd around or lean on Metro doors, someone had affixed another warning: No "Rapture," with a little businessman about float up to Heaven, and the universal symbol for "don't do it," the red circle with a line through it.
