About 9PM last night I saw some awe-inspiring vertical lightning strikes hit the mountains. At 11PM, I noticed two small orange glows in the mountains, about 5 miles away. There were two distinct fires burning. It was dark and all I had was my cell phone so the pictures aren't great.
This morning the fires were still burning and helicopters were bringing huge balloons of water to the sight. Estimates are 10-12 acres are affected.
