We got our predicted second round of massive lightning strikes and high temperatures. All day. The nice thing was that it also rained to help out out all the fires that started, and there were a lot of them.
We helped arrange food delivery for the fire fighters and stayed available to help out with emergency communications on the radio for the fire department and community.
The power went out for several hours during the midst of everything. Adds a new dimension of folks needing help with stubborn generators that refuse to start.
Feels like Tahiti being 80f and 80% humidity at the moment. This is at 9pm.
More fires are breaking out as I write. Trees mainly that have been hit by lightning. They are like 100’ tall torches sending embers everywhere.
These lightning strikes start fires that sometimes take days to find so we will be busy for awhile.
I sure am looking forward to winter and a vacation somewhere that has a lot of rain.
It’s me again
