Dry Thunderstorms in San Jose, CA and Stockton, CA (Early Saturday Morning, September 12, 2009)

Description

Watch in HQ please. Another series of rare thunderstorms for San Jose: Dry thunderstorms are expected from Friday evening until Saturday morning. These storms were created from the moisture of the remnants of Hurricane Linda, therefore creating enough instability in the atmosphere to produce dry lightning. In this video, it shows the lightning storm from up on a hill nearby Evergreen Valley High School. I saw lots of distant lightning strikes! There were a couple large ones that were a little closer. I put the good lightning strikes in slow motion :) The time in this video while viewing the lightning was from 2:45am to 3:30am, early Saturday morning of September 12, 2009. Later that same morning when the sun was rising, we were on the way to Stockton, CA for a family occasion. We also saw a couple nice lightning strikes while on the road! I slow motioned them, also. We also encountered rain while passing through Altamont Pass. Once at Tracy, we saw the edge of the entire storm! It's awesome how the storm looked at the edge; crystal blue skies to the east where the sun rose. When we arrived to Stockton, I saw many lightning (but not very visible since we were at a park with trees). Speaking of park and trees, those are the things we want to avoid while there's a thunderstorm! I caught several loud rumbles of thunder, some were loud enough to set off car alarms! The loudest thunder on tape was heard at 9:20! Then the heavy downpours came after the lightning/thunder. **Good <b>...</b>
