Event narrative (NOAA)
Widespread thunderstorms hit many areas in southern California. There were many power outages, due to power lines knocked down by lightning. Some mountain and desert areas had over an inch of rain with some small hail. A woman was killed in Canoga Park, in Los Angeles, when her car spun out-of-control on a rain-slick street, hit a power pole and knocked down a transformer that landed on top of her car. (F43V)
