Sitting on the porch at the top of China Creek,just now saw lightning due south,probably around Piercy,or south of there. It’s coming our way. God help us all.
I’m in Alderpoint. Low clouds moving north. Scary. It peaked out at 113* here today.
Sitting out at Samoa while the kids play at the beach and saw at least a dozen strikes out towards highway 36, past Kneeland and now over Chaparral mountain towards 299. Also watching a small fire grow into a larger one on south Humboldt bay near stinky beach.
Right on the line here near Blocksburg. Dark sky to the east and blue sky west. 110 degrees and thunder.
Thunder ripping over Alderpoint. Lightning then 4 second count to thunder. Raining a bit.
Seeing bolts of lightning.
Look out Blocksburg, it’s headed your way .
Watching lightning, a dozen strikes due east of Bear Butte, looks like Blocksburg area maybe further east.
