California Coastal Thunderhead

[hewilson]

A rare site along the coast. This is from my porch, ~15:00, facing NNW with winds SSW at ~ 5 knots, temp ~ 48 F. Heard intense thunder last night between midnight and 03:00. Awoke to a lawn and driveway still covered with hail at ~ 06:30. Sky cleared around 08:00 then this formed in the afternoon.

Also took pics to the ENE to show the snow on the Gabilan mountains at the same time but they didn't come out too well.
