LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – A Sunday afternoon storm brought thunder, lightning, rain and a heavy amount of hail to parts of Lake County.

The National Weather Service had warned of chances of rain and a thunderstorm, but the hail proved to be a surprise for many county residents.

Most of the storm occurred during a half hour, starting at around 3 p.m.

In Lucerne the hail passed quickly and was pea-sized. However, across the lake in Kelseyville, residents reported dime-sized hail that had accumulations ranging from a few to several inches, covering roadways and filling up gutters.

There were reports of vehicles spinning out on Soda Bay Road due to the hail covering the roadway.

Cobb residents also reported heavy hail accumulations.

The storm also brought with it lightning and several loud peals of thunder.

Shortly before 3:30 p.m. more than 2,400 people in the Kelseyville and Lakeport areas were reported to be out of power, which was resolved by 4:15 p.m. PG&E did not immediately report the cause.

Concerns already are being raised about what damage the storm did to crops,with the county’s pear harvest set to start in about a month and winegrapes later in the summer as well.

Conditions for this week are expected to be clear and sunny, rising into the 90s by the weekend, according to the National Weather Service.
