Mostly on the north shore. Here by Butcher's Block, we got a few drops from that one. Great shot though.

I’m pretty sure that one went over us. We were at the shooting areas out past Camp whittle and had a good 30-35 minutes of huge downpour lots of thunder close lightning and even hail. It was a good show for sure and it was nice to get all that water into the forest. It did rain us out of shooting for the day though.

On another note after the thunderstorm passed by there was a dark gray/black helicopter flying around out there appeared to have one of those long, is it a fuel nozzle, sticking straight out the front of it. Would that kind of helicopter be doing reconnaissance for lightning strike fires? Or were they out there doing something else?

There were 3 small fires, likely started by lightning, this afternoon around the Big Bear area.
Forest Service fire personnel are on scene of all 3 small fires.
