I've been living in the Sierra Pelonas foothills for 10 years. *The

mountains. *If they make it at all, there is no "storminess" left in
them. *The storms generally stop at the San Andreas fault, as delineated

Dave - California is a big place, and it is impossible to gauge the
amount of lightning statewide by your local experience. Even here in
the SF Bay Area, we get a little bit of thunder almost every year, and
occasionally we get a decent storm. I have rarely taken a summer
camping trip in the Sierra without seeing some lightning - in July and
August, it is fairly common.
