Lightning storms while spectacular can be both good and bad. Dry lightning storms cause bush fires (or wild fires as you know them?) and living in California you would know all about them? I HATE dry summer storms for the potential bush fire threat but if they are followed by a downpour that's a different thing...all good! My f-i-l used to sit for hours on end on his verandah watching lightning strikes and then reporting them to the various watch towers in our area...he was head of the local CFA (Country Fire Brigade).Gorgeous!
I offer a northern lightning storm lol
For sure, some say California weather is earthquakes, mudslides, fires & droughts (or sadder still, mass shootings grrrr)Lightning storms while spectacular can be both good and bad.

ewEverything you didn't need to know about porcupines...
My little one is off the chart! She’s an old doggie these days. (Survived her lister who also got off the chart but departed earlier this year. Loved that doggie).Interesting article about converting your dogs age to human years.
Ruby is 6.5yo. I put that into the log calculator here to get 1.87 (I rounded it down), then multiply by 16 = 29.9 then add 31 = 60.9, so she's almost 61 in human years. As the article notes the rate dogs age in terms of milestones is non-linear to humans so they age faster and slower at different stages of life. Lots of disclaimers about different breeds living much shorter or longer lifespans but I think in Ruby's case she's probably similar to a labrador retriever which they based their study on.
What's The Real Human Equivalent of Your Dog's Age? Here's a New Formula
No one knows how it started, or where it came from, but the idea that you can convert your dog's age to human years by multiplying by seven? Total myth.www.sciencealert.com
