Oh no.

I can’t emphasize enough that we NEVER get thunderstorms in SoCal and I’ve never seen lightening here. We don’t even get rain.

Hope they are OK.

You would think if a person was struck by lighting they would know it.
I have seen a few real storms here in California. Even by Midwest standards. One of them had enough power blow over a boxcar. One had hail that put hole in my corrugated fiberglass patio roof. You see them more often in the area where hot. Dessert air mets cooler coastal air.

Latest report is 14 people were struck by the lightening with 2 critical. Also one person who was playing golf on Catalina Island was struck by lightening and taken to a hospital.

Rare for two reasons:

#1. Rare for their to be heavy rain in Southern California this time of year.

#2. Rare for there to be lightning when it rains in Southern California. Usually it only happens during hailstorms.

That will teach Progressives not to go out in a thunderstorm and shake their fist at God!
