Water spout off of Newport Pier.... (1/19/2010)

Looking at the news, it appears the water spout hit one of Long Beach's piers, resulting in 6 BSB, 1856 croaker and 2210 short lobster raining down along Interstate-5.

I saw that too that was crazy a few people also reporting smelt in their swimming pools.

That looks like HB pier. Great pictures. Where did you find them?

Perhaps it will be like early 2003? That was some pretty wild weather.

I counted over 20 small funnel clouds that morning, and lightning struck right next to me.

thunder made me deaf for a second.. I just felt a nice tingly sensation, then saw all my hair standing straight up in a car window.. I was like "Oh sh-" *BOOOOOM*

yeah, i was walking outside this morning around 6 to watch the lightning from my porch up here in SLO, and as soon as i opened the door, freaking bolt lightning struck the foul pole in the baseball field right across the street from me.

Pretty intense for CA huh !?

Glad everyone seems ok.
