A dramatic light show unfolded over Los Angeles last night, with a number of lightning bolts seen streaking across the sky.
The lightning storm was triggered by a low-pressure system moving in after days of high temperatures, according to local reports.
It prompted the closure of beaches in Los Angeles and Orange counties, and warnings from fire services for people to find shelter.
