The top two pictures are of the sun setting behind a thunderstorm in central Mozambique. We were northbound to Quelemane on Jan 18. The side window in this aircraft is a bit scratched up so the picture quality is poor.The pictures shown at bottom were taken Jan 19 westbound to Johannesburg. Thunderstorms can be huge this time of year. Andrew and I are very grateful for the "good" radar in these planes. The one's we have at QX wouldn't cut it here.
These storms build fast. From little clouds to run for your life clouds in 20min. The frequent, intense lightning is amazing. On some nights it seems there's more light than dark. They say this is an exceptionally bad year for storms. Lucky us...I think.
