The satellite picture above shows some serious thunderstorm activity in the Sierra.
And this picture shows what the radar saw. At the two o’clock position from Fresno is a stompin’ cell of rain and lightning. I talked with Karla at Florence Lake and she said it was a terrific storm. What made it even more interesting was that there was a missing hiker up there somewhere and the Fresno County Sheriff’s Search and Rescue team based at Florence was trying to find him. Eventually the hiker was found on the Inyo side of the Sierra, but in the meantime the Sheriff’s brave helicopter pilot was ferrying people into and out of the mountains from the lake in some of the most awful weather you could imagine. It’s all quiet now, except for the wind of course.
