Frequently, even if there is no rain, it can produce lightning.
And in the dry climate of my state that can start fires.
I spotted the smoke from this one on the other side of the Bradshaw Mountains from us yesterday evening.
It has been named the Cellar Fire and it began Sunday from a lightning strike.
It was a small 5 acre fire then but by yesterday it had grown to 8,000 acres.
So be careful out there, folks, it's fire season.
Don't get me started
ReplyDeleteThanks Bruce for always being the intrepid reporter! I thought it could be a prescribed burn. I did notice the birds are hunkered down instead of in the bird baths while the air quality is so bad. Canary in a Coalmine . . . I closed up the house and the garage. Glad that our crew is working inside today.
ReplyDeleteThat's scary. Hard to stop a wildfire.
ReplyDeleteIt seems no sooner does fire season subside than it starts again! Or it seems that way from my distant perspective, anyway.
ReplyDeleteThat is a scary sight!
ReplyDeleteLet's also keep the firefighters in our thoughts.
ReplyDeleteYikes!
ReplyDeleteWet spring, lots of fuel.
ReplyDeleteI watch this site.

How much defensible space do they recommend for you? For our place in the mountains they recommend 100 feet now.
ReplyDeleteStay safe!
Oh that's a sight I've seen before. Fire season here too. I dread those smoky skies and the raging blaze. Hope they get that contained soon.
ReplyDeleteWe can use some rain NOW!
ReplyDeleteWe who live in Colorado know the feeling very well. One worries about fire every day, actually.
ReplyDeleteAre you guys at okay? 🙁
ReplyDeleteOh yes, it's far from us.
