Approaching Storm

Description


The weather had been impressive… very heavy rain, howling wind, pounding surf. And then as sunset time approached… a break in the clouds. And off to the south… a massive storm cell bearing down on Port Orford… beautifully illuminated by the late day sun. It grew huge threatening tentacles that sprawled out ahead and above it… and it engulfed the coastline as it raced northward. A stiff wind also came ahead of it… sending sea foam racing across the wet sand and flying through the air.
