Storm Chaser

An explanation of what is happening in this image. We're flying over the northern gulf Islands in a twin prop Citation and the storm wreaking havoc on the west coast of BC right now is just arriving. It has started to engulf us. You can see in the distance the mountains are still in full .sun. The thin leading edge of the storm is casting an eerie glow and the water below is is darker.

I landed a few minutes later in Powell River and caught a water taxi to Cortez just in time for the big wind to hit. We're seeing 80km/hr gusts right now. Very noisy.

Stay safe and dry everyone!
