So, California doesn't get Lightning?
Call up one of those tv stations over there and ask their weather people
about that Lightning Counter.

I believe California gets some Lightning every day.

In California every Year during the Summer the
Sierra Nevada Mountains get many Thunderstormshttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thunderstormhttp://www.eldoradocountyweather.com/lightning/swn-lightning.html

About - Thunderstormshttp://www.usatoday.com/weather/resources/basics/thunderstorms.htm

as they say . . .
and where there is thunder
there is lightning ~ RHF

It is worth noting that a T-storm east of the Rockies is often a very
different animal than those to the west. Out here, we see many storms
that are not at all wet, and the presence of lightning in a semi-arid
region can often lead to wildfire. Back east, where rain is typically
much more common in summer (due to the influence of the Gulf and
Atlantic), dry flammable fuel is rare, and lightning-sparked fires are
regionally much less frequent.

RHF is right, we do get many mountain T-storms, and in fact this
weekend we may see another round even near sea level in Central Cal
due to a semi-stationary E. Pacific low sending wave pulses over us.
Keep your lightning arrestors in good shape, and batten down the
hatches!

It is a shame about those wildfires burning people's property.I reckon
most of those wildfires will have to burn themselves out.Wildfires also
cause new and better growth (Forest) by burning out a lot of rubbish.
