I live about 7-8 miles away in Westchester. My family told me it rained here around 1 and a few times after 2 and they could hear thunder. I was steaming in the San Fernando Valley and didn't have a clue.

Sunday, July 27, 2014VENICE, LOS ANGELES (KABC) --At least eight patients were transported following a lightning strike at Venice Beach on Sunday, the Los Angeles Fire Department said. Two of the eight patients were said to be in critical condition.
The strike happened in the 3500 block of Ocean Front Walk shortly before 2:20 p.m. Thirteen people were evaluated at the scene.
At least one patient was transported to Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center in Westwood.
Lifeguards were searching for an adult swimmer, who went missing in the water, following the lightning strike.
Meantime, at least three lightning strikes sparked two brush fires in the Santa Catalina Island area around 12:30 p.m. Sunday. The fires were quickly doused.
A 57-year-old man was struck by lightning on the golf course, Avalon Sheriff's Station deputies said. He was treated and transported to Catalina Island Medical Center in stable condition.
Lightning and fires caused downed power lines and minor flooding in the area.
The unusual weather came from monsoon moisture that brought a line of brief but fierce afternoon thunderstorms to the region.--Check out http://groups.yahoo.com/group/californiadisasters/
