Agreed. We had a fun show early this morning over KMHR and NorCal TRACON. It was 20 miles away, but it lit up big time overnight. Started some fires as well, including a big one at KTRK.

BL.

Squawk 7700:
Spectacular light show. The closest I can describe the sound is if you took a baseball bat and whacked it against a metal trash can.

NorCal came back online after power was restored and were not damaged.

SFO Ground and Tower feeds should come up shortly.
