"Over the last couple of years the ROADNet project has deployed multiple high resolution cameras throughout San Diego county that automatically take photos at pre-specified rates. These photos are transmitted to a real time database here at SIO via the HPWREN project, and then displayed on the web via a Real Time Image Bank. The cameras operate 365-24/7. Last night's storm was recorded by the cameras, and there is one great image that captures lightning striking the Imperial Beach pier:"

Re: IB lightning strike
I didn't think about it the first time i saw this photo -- but now i remember -- there are telescopes at the end of the pier. it looks like it hit right where one of the telescopes is -- like an oversized lightning rod! moral is: don't look at the ocean through one of these during a storm.
