Re: Lightning fires
This must be close to the most new starts recorded in one day. Cooler weather couldn't come soon enough.

Re: Lightning fires
Check out the number of fire starts yesterday!!! These almost all lightning. Look at the Quesnel Lake/Horsefly area! You'd have a VERY high chance of getting hit with lightning if you were out on the south arm of that lake yesterday!
The province had 40,000 lightning strikes yesterday.

Re: Lightning fires
Damn, that was quite the storm. I was camping at Berg Lake up behind Mt. Robson and it got downright nasty Tuesday night. (hot, clear skies w/ smoke, and sunny the other 3 nights I was there, tho) Saw a few new fires on the drive home. Biggest ones looked to be near Valemount, Vavenby, and the worst by Monte Lake. 3 skimmers were on that one when I went thru, all in a line scooping up water from the lake, almost nose to tail. Hitting it hard.
Your bias suits you.

Re: Lightning fires
So here's hoping you don't see similar results this time around. The band showing up just west of here is currently producing about 2 to 3 strikes per minute.ferri wrote:Since there is lightning in the forecast again I'm going to post this link: http://www.lightningmaps.org/?lang=en#m ... ;dl=2;dc=0;
I'm not kidding here, I watched that last lightning storm and I swear that every strike started a fire. :/

Re: Lightning fires
Fire crews in the air are hitting a fire looks like above Shannon Woods area at the top of the mountain but hard to tell exactly.
Truths can be backed up by facts - do you have any?

Re: Lightning fires
It's a good thing that upper low came along with the cold front and brought some moisture. What a pain that would be if it was just the wind and no rain.

Re: Lightning fires
It is amazing how the wind is swirling the smoke on the fire on the top of the mountain west of Rose Valley.

Re: Lightning fires
Wildfire Service did great work to stop the southern spread of the snowy mtn fire last week.
Mother Nature laughs and starts another one, the Snehumption Creek fire 2 1/2 kms southwest of their line. That's gotta suck - eh?

Just what they do not need, lots of current lightning from Prince George down to Williams Lake.
