Stormy Weather

The thunder woke me at 3:30 a.m. and didn't subside until 6:30.
The heat wave has been joined by thunder and lightning:
The Bay Area’s extraordinarily warm, stormy weather is expected to continue for several days, with more thunder and lightning Sunday and Monday, and excessive heat likely through Wednesday.

The bizarre storm early Sunday joined forces with a fiery heat wave that has pushed temperatures into the triple digits across the region over the past two days, shattering all kinds of records. Napa reached 103 degrees on Saturday, breaking its previous high temperature of 102 from 1906, according to the National Weather Service.
It's a good thing that we're a people of science and understand lightning and thunder, else we would sit cowering in our homes, fearful that going out will kill us.
