People who live between Palos Verdes and Manhattan Beach are either seriously out of practice with stormy weather or that was some major thunder that woke up a wide area of the South Bay about 2 a.m. on Sunday. The Daily Breeze reports that the thunder clap was still the talk of the town on Monday. A Hermosa Beach police officer said he thought his partner had been shot. Other residents cowered in their beds. A minister in Rolling Hills Estates worked the boom into her sermon on Sunday.
