Mildly Threatening

Not too long before these pictures got taken we had a couple of peals of thunder. Not usual around here most any time, but certainly not in the winter.

It had been raining most of the morning, but not hard. Off in that direction there was some much heavier rain, coming up from the south and streaming into Ventura and Santa Barbara, causing some local flooding.

I had come out during a lull in the rain to move the trash cans while I could, but seeing this coming I figured the lull wouldn’t last long. And it didn’t.

Several hours of a pretty good downpour started just a few minutes later. Those bands of low, white, ragged clouds in front of that darker wall of clouds behind? Yep, that’s mildly threatening, to say the least.
