    Dry lightning all around the skies of Sonoma County, too.

    Lightning threatens California with rising fire risk, sparks fire in Santa Clara County. "This is probably the most widespread and violent summer thunderstorm event in memory for Bay Area, & it's also one of the hottest nights in years," says

    Aside from the lightning, the cluster of severe thunderstorms are generating extremely strong erratic wind gusts which can cause downed trees, power lines, and other structural damage as well as difficulty driving. Here are peak gusts. Please take this storm seriously.

    The violent winds and lack of rain this time make this an even more amazing/dangerous event (there may be numerous Bay Area wildfires by AM, unfortunately).

    Wild night in the San Francisco Bay Area. This is probably the most widespread and violent summer thunderstorm event in memory for Bay Area, & it's also one of the hottest nights in years. Convective gusts 60+ mph; enormous amount of (partially dry) lightning. Wow.

    For a moment ... re: the weather is actually helping re: rain. Lots of downed power lines though from gusty wind earlier and more lightning possible (and hot temps again later) Use caution on the roads this morning.

    Fire is currently holding at 3 acres, conditions and spread have slowed due to rain.

    Here's the latest satellite imagery combined with lightning flash density overlaid. As you can see, we have a very active line of thunderstorms off the coast. Strong, erratic outflow winds of 50mph are possible with these thunderstorms.

    Frequent lightning flashes to distant southwest from our roof here in Monterey. Roughly 5-10 lightning flashes per minute.

    The California left never liked Kamala Harris and saw so much wrong with her approach. Fascinating about how so much of that coldness has melted in record time (even Angela Davis!).

    Update: California heatwave now expected to be much more intense, prolonged, and dangerous than initially anticipated. (Hence, the new blog post.) This one reminds me of July 2006 in many ways...

    A tragic summer: more than 62% of California’s coronavirus deaths have occurred since Memorial Day. But it finally looks like closing down bars and indoor dining rooms at restaurants is starting to work

    I saw this and thought, hey it’s our project condensed to a single tweet. Except in LA County bars were only open for two weeks.

    We ended up allowing thousands of people to die so we could have bars open for a couple months.
