Lightning strike in Canyon Lake, CA.

This electrical storm stalled over our community in Canyon Lake, CA. The first bolt you see actually ignited a palm tree. Later that morning, another bolt hit my house and burned a hole in my roof. Insurance took care of it.

BTW...I know the flag should not be out in the rain...but I decided to wait to bring it down until the electrical storm had passed. That flag pole would make a nice lightning rod!
