Torrance photographer Patrick Coyne scored an unbelievable video with bioluminescence creating a neon flash in the waves at the same time lightning flashed to light up the sky off Laguna Beach’s coastline. When the hair on his legs started standing up, he said he knew it was time to leave. Royce Hutain traveled from Huntington Beach to get a few shots, including one of lightning just over a tree in San Clemente. “There were a few bolts that were pretty close to us and a few right overhead. “It was so epic, best lightning show I’ve ever seen,” he said in an online message. Matt Larmand, of Capistrano Beach, set up his camera on the north end of San Clemente to get images of bolts just beyond the iconic pier. The bright shots from the sky had photographers scrambling to capture images of the rare event. “Hopefully we see a little more as we get into the cooler months.” “Not enough to put a dent in the drought, but anything can help this dry time of year,” Roser said. The Orange County reservoir recorded a quarter of an inch, while Laguna Hills got 0.1 inches. (KABC) - Flash flood warnings have expired for parts of Los Angeles County after rain, thunder and lightning hit the region overnight. Orange County didn’t get much rain, but every drop helps as drought conditions persist. Riverside mountains had 93 strikes while the Inland Empire had 153. The NWS San Diego office, which also covers Orange County, put out a tally on how many lightning strikes hit from cloud to ground, reporting 81 strikes along the San Diego coast and ocean, and 20 the mountains. Then after 9 p.m., the storm hit Orange County.
The lightning in San Diego as it made its way up the coast could be seen from San Clemente by about 8 p.m., with flashes in the distance happening every 30 seconds to a minute. “Some storms started to bubble up, in San Diego and Orange County and over the ocean as well.” “The atmosphere was unstable enough to support thunderstorm activity in areas of the coast,” he said. National Weather Service meteorologist Adam Roser said a monsoon pattern system from moist air coming up from Mexico caused the storm in San Diego, which then came rolling into San Clemente. It also brought a shot of much-needed rain to parts of the region. Crews were out clearing across Ridley Township, Delaware County after strong storms tore through. A surprise lightning and thunderstorm raced into Orange County late Thursday, as spectators and photographers marveled at the show in the sky.
