Wild weather struck Shasta County Friday evening. About 9 p.m., residents were warned to take cover from a possible tornado that fortunately never materialized.

However, residents saw spectacular clouds and what the National Weather service called a “severe thunderstorm” with many reports of numerous bolts of lightning.

In places, golf ball sized hail fell. This photo from Redding shows hail, that while not golf ball sized, is still substantial.

Other areas, including Lake County also were battered by thunderstorms late Friday. As of 11:30 p.m., Butte and Yuba counties were under a severe thunderstorm alert and Lightning Maps showed countless lightning strikes in those areas.

Simply a wet spring supplying moisture for the now hot sun. Has nothing to do with volcanoes or the creator.

That would scary AF to me if I saw that barreling down on me!!! If I saw something like that headed toward me, I’d likely soil myself, not to mention burn off whatever footwear I had on at the time, racing to get away from it!!! As in “C’mon Feet Don’t Fail Me NOW!!!

Stunning, mesmerizing clouds… still, tornados are definitely something I hope to never encounter. Living in the mountains I feel safe, as I understand they are flatland occurrences. However, when I looked into it I found that tornados have, in fact, traveled off the plains up into the Rockies before fizzling. Yikes!
And with the changing climate….

Carr fire, looking in the same direction on the afternoon of July 26 from the Ace parking lot, Weaverville.

Erik,

Great job. I almost posted the same comparison of clouds to carr fire photos. I just didnt take a pic of yesterday’s clouds.

I remember you drove up to a good viewpoint to observe the Carr last year. From my elevation and vantage point I saw it from my living room.

The winds were ripping up here too.

Cool to see that you were thinking the same thing regarding comparisons.

There is something about western redding and whiskeytown lake that intensifies weather, it sometimes rains like crazy there and not a drop in trinity, I’ve driven 299 in ponding water only to hit the top of buckhorn and it’s just snowing lightly. The carr fire picture was taken right as the shit was really hitting the fan, the top of the pyrocumulis in the picture is topping out at a 20,000 foot inversion layer, as the afternoon upslope winds out of the valley intensified the fire and more thermal energy was added, the pyrocumulis cloud broke through the inversion and quickly rose to over 40,000 feet, the resulting convective upwelling and pressure differential set up the conditions for cyclonic rotation and the rest is history, most of Keswick vaporized, trees twisted in spirals, power pylons mangled ( and, according to official sources, heated to 2500 degrees Fahrenheit, even though there was minimal vegetation around them ), the flame front jumping the Sacramento river and tearing into Redding. The clouds last night looked just as intense, glad it was only water vapor this time. I took most of those carr fire shots i posted from the top of Oregon summit on 299 on the way back from swimming downriver every evening. Your view out your living room window must be epic! There was smoke on the eastern horizon from July 23 to the middle of September with the delta fire. What a summer. Here is a night shot of the carr fire taken from the same spot as the photo i posted from last night, this was taken around midnight on July 25.

CH, from a poster on this article, that provides a sense of perspective lost to most.
https://davidjanssen.wordpress.com/2008/02/11/john-quincy-adams-and-the-violent-oaths-of-freemasonry/

“….. Teddy Roosevelt (Freemason) that brought about the formation of the FBI and IRS and Harry S. Truman (Freemason) invented the CIA, NSA, and brought the world into the nuclear age by demolishing Heroshima and Nagasaki; he also ushered us into the “cold war” and led America into the Korean war. But, as the Freemasons love to say, “Ordo Ab Chao” = “Out of order comes Chaos”. When the Freemasons have caused enough chaos on Earth and the CIA has toppled enough governments and shook things up sufficiently across the globe, including within our own country, people everywhere will be crying for order and it is then that the Freemasons, their sister societies and their grand master will gladly step in and grant their New Order of the Ages to the people.” …..

~good link.

“oaths in violation of the laws of the land.” <<<that's what we've got. And "Salute" (that's what the Agenda says), to their commercial law of the Sea Merchant “guilty until proven innocent”, flag. Last Tues. (Supe meeting), was take the hemp plant away, this Tues., it's give 'em toxic injections and how proud they are of this.

Of course i have to provide this morning's link to Dane Wigington's Geoengineering Watch broadcast. We need to get KMUD and KWPT broadcasting these every Saturday morning -at least.

The broadcast and reading the comments, brings me to tears.

The Founding Fathers chose their words with great care. They knew about the gold fringe rulers even back then, which is probably why they came up with the term ‘shall not be INFRINGED”.

“INFRINGED” – good point. In our climate engineered world, i suppose it doesn’t matter anymore ; -(

It’s freakin cold. Six days clouds & rain, half a day of sorta-kinda sunny afternoon.

Gem Faire and Geoengineering booth doesn’t come to Eureka until November – i fear we’ll be vaporized by then.

~the military war machine uses it for crowd control. Fortuna has leaning utility poles. One i saw, on Runnerberg Road, is braced up the pole with metal to help support the weight of those 6″ (?) diameter cables w/a box at every pole. Trading our future for faster communication via radiation. Wires and cables and boxes. Again, without our consent or knowledge of.
