So, early this morning I was awakened by a series of flashes coming through my window. Flash, flash flash flash flash. In most parts of the US, lighting storms are common and happen frequently from spring to fall. However, in the Sacramento Valley of California, lightning storms like this are an oddity. We will get the occasional thunder storms in the spring that will produce a couple of flashes and a few rumbles, but we hardly EVER get an event like this! As a matter of fact, we don’t get any rain in the Valley for 6 months! So, in my jammies, I scramble for my GoPro and head for the back porch to binge watch this epic event. The show went on for about two hours. Here are some of the highlights!
