It's raining pretty good right now in Laguna Hills. Thunder-lightning, wind too. Blew in from the east.

Weather was clear all day up to 1 hour ago.

Seee pics in my photo thread hit Fullerton a little before I think

Permagrin · 03-16-2008, 04:36 PM

Hmm, nothing in HB but a little wind but the clouds are moving in slowly.

Wrecker · 03-16-2008, 04:40 PM

I did see lightening out in the hills (from HB) and a few sprinkles

boboso · 03-16-2008, 04:43 PM

Noy much other than wet ground in AV right now. Was a Canyon Vista park with my son flying kites and he heard the thunder (only once) around 4pm. Freaked him out... thought we were gonna have one of storms he experienced back East during a visit to grandparents.

i was outside adjusting my yakima rack on my car just as i was finishing up i heard the thunder and then the sudden rain pretty trippy

1FG rider · 03-16-2008, 04:46 PM

Of course it's raining. I just finished washing the wife's car.

Jordansrealm · 03-16-2008, 04:49 PM

I hit the dirt for a few hours this afternoon just before the storm started. Ran into SID from The Path and his bud on Tijeras. The last few miles it started pouring on me. Glad I started when I did!

Took this on a break just before the rain came in.

DBD · 03-16-2008, 05:00 PM

We had it up this way yesterday. You can see the clouds movin' in beyond the trees.

Down in San Diego we had a nasty cell blow through at 6 AM; complete with thunder, lightning, wind and a torrential downpour.

Pho'dUp · 03-16-2008, 08:05 PM

I was out near Vedanta and O'neill around lunch today. At it was like this.

3rd one down John can be used to illustrate one of Gregg's stories of the rider going into the parallel universe
