Within the whale’s mouth…
A severe thunderstorm with a spectacular shelf cloud and gustfront lashes Evans head on the NSW north coast. This panoramic image was taken just as the shelf cloud had passed over and revealing what is sometimes known as ‘the whale’s mouth’ due to its structural appearance from underneath and inside the gustfront to the storm’s core. The core of the storm follows shortly after with torrential rain, hail and severe winds.
