Weather possible for CA. deserts next week train pic?
Author: czuleget

There is a good possibility of thunderstorms coming to the desert of California and AZ, early next week from hurricane Blanca. There could be some interesting photo opportunities of trains in the desert.

Between the lightning and flash flooding, that is not the safest place to be for taking pictures.  Is a photo worth the risk?

Yes. Stay out of the dry stream beds, and you will be fine.

Of course, unless you happen to be on the wrong side of one.  Then, prepare for camping for a spell.

Sprinkling in Mojave right now... And I second the comments on being VERY careful rain or shine in the desert...

High ground, a metal tripod, and the only thing sticking up six feet for miles around.  That's a recipe for getting struck by lightning.

Absolutely the best place to be, love the spark show. Just stay upwind of the washes and it's fine.
