We were on the eastern edge apparently, but the clouds were moving so fast, we could literally see them "running" past. Rain for us was not really hard, light,tho it wet the streets after 2030, when we arrived home. The streak lightning to the west was awesome - again.

The surface wind , tho only ~ 5, is from the SE, so upper winds must be from S/SW! Interesting obsv: the sky was totally blue, with no clouds, until a certain point near the southern end of visible mts. The water vapor started condensing(?)and clouds formed right at that spot, which then moved on along with the rest over the mts. and either coalesced or grew larger as they moved N.
