Thunder98

Recommended Posts

I was in San Diego until early this afternoon, at which point rain had just begun falling when I was leaving. Lightning and thunder were occurring nearby as well. Rain continued while I was heading north on I-15 until near Poway. Arrived back in the Temecula Valley to be greeted by both recently wet ground and a massive plume of smoke rising from the Santa Rosa Plateau, where a wildfire is burning now. The sky is orange.

Fire is on the news. Hope it was not caused by dry lightning.

 

It is possible, as a thunderstorm cell had passed over the area where the fire originated just prior to when the fire was reported. Lightning strikes were reported in the area at the time. I believe it was the same cell that dropped 0.02" at my house. Embers and ash are coming down over me now as well.
