Wind Shear
Lens: 18-250mm Camera: K5 Photo Location: Coachella Valley, CA 
Posted By: Bob Harris, 01-30-2014, 10:09 PM

We have very high winds, 60mph, in the Coachella Valley today which is throwing up quite a bit of dirt in the air giving some nice color at sunset. You can see the effects of wind shear in the middle of the photo that is blowing the clouds into a massive cloud group. To give an idea how high and large this is, that is Mt. San Jacinto at the bottom of the photos and sits at the elevation of 10,800'.
