So, yesterday I'm dialing the phone and the house starts to rock.  Two big jolts and then the dishes in the cabinet start to rattle. :yikes:  I hang up the phone and head for the door.  Just in case it starts to get worse.  It didn't.  Phew!

It was only a 4.7 but it felt like a much bigger since it was only about 4 miles South of us in an area called Mayhew Canyon.  Anyway, I finish my coffee and go outside to do a little yard work.  It's 111 degrees outside, but it's a dry heat. ;)   After working up a sweat, I go back in the house to cool down and watch the outdoor mx at Freestone.  A little while later I look outside and notice a big black angry cloud moving up the valley.  I watched the cloud back up into a canyon, Mayhew Canyon to be exact and then sit there and proceed to have a little hissyfit.  Thunder and lightning for about 15 minutes and then it stalled out leaving a big black cloud of smoke.

The lightning had started a brush fire.  The wind was blowing very hard in our direction and the smoke became very thick.  I started looking for spot fires around us but they never happened.  The fire dept got the fire under control in about an hour and the cloud cover cooled things off a little.  What's next, a flood, locusts? :whoa:

California, gotta love it.  Never a dull moment. :rotfl:

Traffic wasn't bad though. :nener:
