Photograph caption dated September 13, 1963 reads, "Lightning crackles overhead during an electric storm that rolled over the Valley Thursday night. In this scene, looking from Granada Hills toward Sun Valley, a bolt slices through moist evening air toward the San Gabriel Mountains. Lighting strikes Thursday started five fires in Angeles National Forest, struck a utility pole and started a small grass fire in Reseda."
