Giant Rainy Waterfall Wonder
On the evening of September 11, 2024, Guang'an City, Sichuan Province, China, experienced severe convective weather with thunderstorms. A giant columnar rain waterfall connected the dark clouds and the earth, and under the sunset, a faint light shone outside the waterfall, creating a strong contrast in the sky, which was very spectacular.
