Coastal Southern California, which rarely sees lightning, witnessed several hundred bolts Monday from a string of unusual thunderstorms — a display not to be overshadowed by the day's other overhead spectacle, the SpaceX rocket launch.
But the strength of the storms and frequency of the lightning made those two phenomena more prevalent Monday, Tardy said. Lightning in Southern California remains rare, Tardy said, typically accompanying only a few winter storms and primarily occurring in July and August over the mountains and deserts. He said it's rare year-round along the coasts and valleys, which makes it hard to compare Monday's lightning to prior storms.
