Cumulonimboscraper - Similar to a skyscraper, as known to the antique “dumb ages” of old New Terran earth, but much, much taller. It is the sort of thing that scrapes, not just the sky, which once was regarded as being a mere few hundred or thousand feet from the surface, but much, much higher. A true cumulonimboscraper typically tops out at one to three miles above sea level, a particular convenient measurement for any and all of the buildings in the old New Terran city of the non-bombed-out location of Boulder City, Colorado, all of which have a ground floor at just about the minimum criteria.
