Rain Sheets over the Gascoyne

Another band of thunderstorms developed over the Kennedy Range. The second round of storms over the last 2 days. With the build up came with it rain and did it rain. From the air it looked like at least 20-40mm could have fallen in some places. Maybe a little more in others. As you can see in this photograph its pretty evident that it was heavy and widespread.

Also notice the slight red tinge to the base of the clouds. I think its due to the red dust in the air from the sand dunes below.

Now that’s some heavy rain. I love thunderstorms, especially the “odd” ones when you can see the “wall of rain” heading towards you. Nice photograph, thanks for sharing.
