Picture of the Day - Late Season Dying T-Storm

This storm looked delightfully dramatic from Atascadero where I was during the storm's peak including some fantastic mammatus clouds as well as a spectacular anvil cloud and an ominously dark cloud base. Great storm structure! Unfortunately, I was unable to take a photo of it during its peak intensity. However, on my way home I did manage to snap this image of it nearing its death east of Paso Robles. Earlier at its peak, it caused flash flooding near San Ardo in southern Monterey County and other such problems as it dumped prodigious rainfall along its track.
