Big old Pacific Northwest thunderstorm

[Tripper11]

Shot this from our balcony in Renton wa.

Generally we don't get many of these. But this one has been a doozy!

1. Same here

in South Sound area. Mostly to the north and east of us, but what a light display!

2. We had one crack of lightning and thunder

Made us jump out of our seats, literally!
It's past now..friends in Everett and Lynnwood saying it's there now with all the goodies.

3. Still crackling thunder here

And a deluge of rain on Bainbridge Island.

4. In Bothell - Mill Creek

Thunder and Lightening, can't understand this, it's not even warm out.

Pets are all on alert, got to give downers - this came out of nowhere

7. In Tacoma

My son lives there
Almost constant lightning lit up the sky like noon.
Haven't had one like this in a while.

9. These days I'm rather pleased when the power doesn't go out

I did unplug a lot of the electrical appliances because we had a few simultaneous flashes and claps so they must've been very nearby (Kirkland)

We really needed the rain, though.

10. Same here

We noticed the lights flickered a couple times before the storm arrived, but never did lose power.

11. I live in Edmonds but am out of town and missed it, dammit!

I’ve heard it was amazing.

[Tripper11]

12. I've lived here for 20 years

And I don't remember anything this big ever. It was one for the books, that's for sure.

13. I love thunderstorms!

I usually fall asleep to a thunderstorm/rain video on You Tube. I find them very soothing.
