Pretty boring weather generally over here, but this early evening I heard this rather ominous rumbling just outside the house. Couldn't quite figure out what it was at first, but finally figured out there were some pretty strong thunderstorms (for this area anyway) rolling through. There were a few reports of small hail, heavy downpours and localized street flooding which made for something different at least
Should also see some snow on the higher peaks above 2500 feet...and of course the Sierras are getting pounded pretty good, which should make all the ski resort owners quite happy with the Thanksgiving holiday coming up.)
Here's a couple shots of the lightning strikes from local news sources (the lower one is a bit fuzzy because it's webcam shot, but shows the Bay Bridge towers both being struck at once.)
