Laguna Niguel Lightning Strike

26Aug07 | 0 comments

A rare August thunderstorm (rare thunderstorm period) blew through southern Orange county today. Here is an image I captured this morning of a lightning strike over Laguna Niguel (or possibly behind it in San Juan Capistrano or Dana point). What a slow moving storm.

I guess these little rain cells are remnants of the hurricane that just blew through Mexico.

No rain where I am but it looks like Dana Point is getting pummeled. I do like this weather though, cool and moist. My favorite is just above 60 degrees with about 80% humidity I think.

Weird no wind with this storm.

There were quite a few strikes that I saw. I hope no one got hit.

Update to post: Looks like Science dude at the OC Register says it went through San Clemente.
