Got a little rain today running down 88 but it was the wind that was really getting me on 178. I pulled off for a minute and let the traffic pass so I could go slower.

The storm that hit on the 14th made it's presence known. We got hit by an indirect lightning strike which fried one of the electric lines into the apartment. Just got it fixed. Wires were burnt and an outlet was missing some parts as it got fried by the strike. Thankfully that was the limit of the damage, if it got past that, we would've had a fire. Seems that being this high up, strikes are not uncommon, especially since the mountains are mostly iron.

Think that's bad ? You should see what happened around here one time. A massive bolt of lightning struck nearby. It blow a 6 foot crater into the street. The power surge came down the wires and into the outlet and into the TV set. The TV set literally exploded. Tiny fragments of it were everywhere. When I looked outside every telephone pole on the block was on fire. Took about 2 weeks to get everything fixed.Originally Posted by N2NH
I keep my 2 feet on the ground, and my head in the twilight zone.
A very strange thing happened to me while driving in Conneticut last week!!! For some reason water came out of the SKY!!! That just doesn't happen here in San Diego!
Connecticut? What did you do, make a wrong turn in Rancho Cucamonga?

Another sunny day with 30 C in the making.
Since December last year every month was a record breaking warm month including July now.
