Lightning Storm

There was a crazy lightning storm in Orange County this past Thursday. I was at my church’s cell group meeting at The Market Place in Irvine when the lightning and thunder started. It actually rained a bit while I was driving home, but it was mostly a light/sound show.

There was no rain

There were some pretty good photos that were posted on Reddit, but I also took some outside my bedroom window when I got home. Since it is nearly impossible to time a lightning strike, I left the phone on the window ledge and took two videos.

The two “photos” above are actually screenshots from iMovie running on my iPhone 12. The phone/computer got stuck trying to convert and send via AirDrop. Those two lightning bolts appears to be quite close. I wonder if they struck anything valuable on the ground?

Since we are in the middle of another drought and wildfire season is upon us again, I was hoping for some rain.
