Adults in the Bay Area. who can't remember lightning have memory issues. There was a huge [lightning] storm in 2012, and there was lighting in [edit: this] May... I've seen lighting, thunder, and hail (caught on video) in the last 12 months.

- samcheng 6y agoHmm. I must have slept through the 2012 event. This one definitely woke me up. I do remember a glorious ~2004-ish thunderstorm, right at dusk, rolling over the Santa Cruz mountains. So maybe a little more than once a decade or so for the big lightning events?
- ianai 6y agoI thought it rained frequently there? I love far enough away to not know. Have also lived in the driest part of the US in the past...gratefully the past.
