SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) – The Bay Area wasn’t quick to forget one of the most memorable weather events of its life.

If you thought the sky looked apocalyptic from the ground this morning, it’s somehow even more sinister from the sky.
ABC7 meteorologist Drew Tuma warned of the danger of thunderstorms that sweep through the Bay Area. The highest risk would be between 10 p.m. tonight and 2 a.m. Friday morning.
However, it is not expected to get as bad as August 2020 when dry lightning storms ignited more than 500 forest fires across Northern California.
