Lightning! (Strange Coincidences)

There was an incredible lightning storm! Lightning is very rare here in the bay area, but last night was the exception. I saw a bolt every 20 seconds or so for at least 45 minutes before I got tired of standing in front of the window. The lightning storm was probably about 5 miles east of our house, and traveled very slowly from south to north. Most of the lightning hit the ground somewhere behind the hills.

On the news, they were talking about a bunch of fires started by the lightning, so I went up to my window and saw this big plume right where the lightning was last night.

Smoky Dream Coincidence?

Yes. Its' parking lot is like 10 feet from our place :-)
But the mountains beyond it are worth it. I look at them every day.
The lightning was awesome!

No lightning? Wow, maybe the bay area isn't as good as I thought it was!

next time there's lightning here, I'll make sure to watch it, for all of you :)

Lightning's great and all, but I wanted the STORM! The raw force of mother nature.
Mother Nature's evil twin lives here in the Bay area.
