No lightning in my immediate vicinity, however the region continues to receive thousands of lightning strikes. The 2 day total for Oregon & Washington is now at over 14,000 strikes and we have thousands of acres of forest ablaze. Here is a
local report on a 400+ acre fire near Mt. Hood, about 45 miles SE of my location in Vancouver USA.
It makes one wonder how lightning caused fires behaved before fire suppression efforts began in the region some 200 years ago.
