@Chimneysweepwife Debbie is it a lightening storm or a supposed one. Lightening storms in August is rare. I looked at the wx for the next 3 days for various areas out there and it's sunny with very little winds except for the area we were from in the mountains and it is to be a possible thunderstorm which does occasionally happen. I don't remember ever having a thunderstorm in the Sacramento to Sonoma area in August in all my years.
@Chimneysweepwife Yes, the mountains (Tuolumne is next to Sonora - we shopped in Sonora) we had summer thunderstorms and 'dry lightening strikes', but that's not everywhere in the Central Valley.
@KarMarJo57 I know. I did have a friend get caught in a fire up by Sonora about 20 years ago due to lightening. She lost everything.
