Hi Gang,
Here are animations about why Ron had powerful gusts and thunder at his house:

The photo shows roll clouds at the leading edge of thunderstorm and lightning at Santa Cruz last night.

Mike—the heavy rain—and my old bladder—woke me in Berkeley at about 4:00 am. The lightning and thunder followed, and is still going on—off and on. Unstable air plus moisture. Nice blog post.

Here is a close up of the T-Storms hitting the Bay Area from predawn until about noon today.

Mike,
Thanks for the attention you gave to my post. The gusts only lasted maybe half an hour. We did get rain in the morning--very gratifying.
