Anyone live in Los Angeles?

[JS80]

I woke up at 12:30am to some crazy loud crackling thunder I thought some shvt was going down...(we Los Angelenos are not used to thunder. I only remember hearing thunder a couple times in my life. And it wasn't as loud as last night)

Weird thing was, there was no rain. Any ideas wtf?

meh I searched for thunder. I thought thunderstorms include rain. Last night I heard thunder, but saw no rain.

Rocket scientology it ain't.

I've lived on islands in the Pacific, Florida, and Illinois most of my life. It mystifies me how people in LA (especially those driving on the freakin' 405) go completely go completely ape$hit when they see/hear/smell rain.

I was out til 1 last night and didn't hear of any such thunder. Then again I'm in the valley

What part of "there was no rain" don't you people understand?

The aliens are coming, ala War of the Worlds style.

It wasn't crazy thunder, it was just thunder.
It didn't rain on the westside, but it ended up raining further west, by San Gabriel.

What part of "see/hear/smell" don't you people understand? Just 'cause it wasn't raining on you doesn't mean it wasn't raining elsewhere.

BTW, I heard the thunder last night in Redondo Beach. I wasn't asleep yet, and it was pretty faint. I was able to contain myself and refrained from going ape$******.

im in West LA, and it was some loud loud $hit last night!! It drizzled a little too where I lived. I could've sworn lightning hit the apt. complex, cause it was loud as fudge.

yeah, LA != California. People in northern california don't declare national state of emergency when it thunders
