Kinda cool - nothing like the South, but we are weather deprived here. We had a strike so close that the thunder delay was less than a second. The power surge reset our CD jukebox and I had to reboot my wireless network. The girls next door started screaming! Since I don't have to commute every day this ominous weather is a pleasant change.
Is there a site with live satellite imagery from the Socal area?

The lightning you described sounds just like what hit my area last night (I am in Costa Mesa). Whereabouts in so Cal are you located?

I definately did not sleep yesterday night.
My mom woke me up around 1 AM saying there was lightning outside and sure enough there was. My window faced the south (which was where the storms were coming from), so every time lightning flashed, the whole room became as white as white can be, for a millisecond.
The lightning did not stop until around 2:30.
But worse yet was the thunder. Much of thunder up until 1:30 was pretty light. But from 1:30-2:30 AM the thunder was like nothing I had ever seen before EVER in southern California. Lightning came once every minute, not very bad, but when there was lightning always 5 seconds later thunder came, and this was no ordinary thunder, it was ear piercing thunder. It just went like BOOM, and every time it went BOOM the car alarms went off, which just added to the misery. Was excited at first but then it became tiring as this thunder, again, was just the loudest thunder I've ever heard since I lived in Texas.
