Description
This wall-to-wall bank of glorious cumulo-nimbus clouds shows a Texas-size thunderstorm rolling in across the prairie in rural Katy, Texas, from the Gulf of Mexico. The huge cloud bank rests on the horizon as it moves inland beneath a stunning clear blue sky.
A thunderhead such as this portends a typical summer weather pattern of afternoon thundershowers that roll in daily, from the Gulf of Mexico inland. Following years of drought, Texans are happy to see these storms arrive again as in all the years before. These are particularly beautiful, as is the Texas prairie shown here near Old Katy. Katy, Texas, is in the Prairies and Lakes section of Texas that roughly connects the Texas Gulf Coast (Houston) with the Texas Hill Country (Austin).
