I've been living in the Sierra Pelonas foothills for 10 years. The
thunderstorms have to dissipate all their energy to get over 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
around here by Elizabeth Lake Rd. I get maybe 4-6" of rain a year,
except during El Nino.

Dave - California is a big place, and it is impossible to gauge the
amount of lightning statewide by your local experience.

My point exactly.

You have no point.
