That lighting was cool!

[GregSr]

@clterror It seems cool now...but it was a little scary at the time. 8-)

The thunder seemed to rumble continuously that day. Mother Nature was on a roll!

I remember Tht I live on longhorn

[GregSr]

@XxProxXSnipezx Howdy neighbor. I live on Appaloosa about 4 houses back from Longhorn.  My house sits fairly high and my eucalyptus trees are even higher. That makes my property a prime target for lightning.

I just posted a video response, it's my video of this same storm taken from the other side of the lake toward the direction you are filming.

[wxchaserwil]

I remember that morning! I was at the WaMu bank down at Railroad Cyn and I-15. I took some videos from that spot, lightning striking within a block of me. My friend lives up in Tuscany Hills (I live at Horsethief Canyon).

Cool video!  But this must have been unusual...I mean, summer rain in SoCal?! Isn't that pretty rare?

[GregSr]

Thanks. You're right...a summer storm like this is very rare. When I heard the thunder in the distance, that's when I decided it was time to get the video camera.

[ParsecondSpace]

It must have been nice because it probably allowed everything to get a little green. I bet it cleaned the air, too.

Very Cool Video!

[GregSr]

Howdy neighbor.  Were you here during this storm? I live on Appaloosa Ct on the west side of Canyon Lake.

[dapplegraylover]

I live on the water so we have a good view from my house, thats ware i watched it.

[cooleiobella]

i like the first 2 bolts, the 3rd i did not see. The palm tree on fire was cool too with the fire truck

[globalcentral1]

good video but you should have put the entire thunderstorm in the video

[globalcentral1]

Yeah!!

[CandleLites]

you have some amazing lightning shots

[lilAznfighta]

damn.. nice house

[Chapas45]

Very nice video. I lived in Menifee during this time, but was on vacation and out of state (would have loved to see this).

[Onweergek]

i dont see your house gets struck?

[GregSr]

That's because I'm in the house when it gets hit. It hit my roof about 20 feet behind me. I didn't know it happened until I saw the chunks of roofing shingles laying on the ground.

[FatLane]

This was a good video. Thanks for sharing it. Do you know the date that this storm occurred?

[GregSr]

Thanks for the positive feedback. The date stamp on the video is August 13, 2004 @ 9:27 AM Pacific time.
