@leslielove i miss the rain, our area has been dead of storms for so long :(

Yea exactly.That storm came unexpectedly.I could not believe how intense it was at times.There was a lot of heavy rain and lightning.I heard that lightning set palm trees on fire.I also heard that there was an unconfirmed report of a small tornado from a NWS Storm spotter.I heard it was just wind damage though.

Dude this Storm was wicked my light flickerd then came this big rumble of thunder then I ran to my dog to hold her so she wont be scared. And there was big rumbles of thunder then the rain came down hard!

Yea this is the 4th storm to wake me up out of my sleep.That storm came in waves.First it was very weak with some light rain then the storm really gathered strength and we got hammered.That lightning was something too.

I saw it forming over the Spring Mountains. It was SouthWest of Vegas. Where Im at we didnt get much rain. But lots of thunder was heard.
