A good evening NOT to be flying around here. Even OAK has a ground stop.

Absolutely nowhere. Had dinner at a restaurant a less-than-two minute walk from home. Did anyone catch that pic of the two Bay Bridge towers being simultaneously hit by lightning?

Lightning will do it every time and wait for the hail to come with it today

Now how about this double lightning strike on the bay Bridge yesterday...
