STORM DAMAGE IN GLENDALE. Lightning struck the tree in this home's front yard, sending limbs and branches everywhere. It's hard to see, but tree parts crushed three parked cars and also damaged the roof of the home. Luckily, no one was injured. #abc15 pic.twitter.com/PiEPdt4s7z

Sound on! A few quick bolts of lightning following by the thunder. A bit eerie because there is no rain or wind. Just stagnit hot air, the smell of rain, and a lot of thunder and lightning. 🌩 pic.twitter.com/srn78wu32R
