Default in black explosion

Hello,

I am having a trouble to understand the meaning of "in black explosion" and "potholes" in the sentence below.

A wind came up that afternoon, bringing gusts of rain and sending the ducks up off the lake in black explosions looking for the quiet potholes out in the timber.

Does "black explosion" mean the rainy crounds? Does "potholes" mean the hole?

Thank you,
Higurashi
