    Been in the SF Bay Area 5 years. The biggest lightning and thunderstorm I can recall in this location is overhead right now, and has been for over an hour. This 3-story apartment building is thumping with resonation.

    I've seen East Coast and Appalachian storms that make this seem like amateur hour, but this is a pretty big one nonetheless. Where was all this rain and lightning in WINTER?

    I've experienced this in the Bay Area around 10 years ago. They're deafening and scary-close. Strange how close they seem. By far the loudest thing I've ever experienced. I can't imagine louder.

    great night....'cept for the folks on the airplane that got hit by lightning. I imagine that happens often, but still a bit startling that they were letting planes take off in the middle of this "epic storm"
