1pm – update, the lightning has stopped. I hope it doesn’t come back…
June 22, 2008, lightning started a multitude of fires state wide. Ours was the Gallery Fire which morphed into the Basin. It was this fire that prompted this blog.
I am hearing thunder today, experiencing the lightest of sprinkles, and a muggy heavy heat I have not experienced since Hawaii, Zanzibar, and other tropical locales. The dogs are freaking over the thunder, as they always do. The coast is blanketed in fog down here. Dry lightning is not a good thing for us, as dry as we are, particularly up here in the hills. Keep vigilant, and keep an eye out. We are all look-outs, now.
🙏🙏🙏
I think that I will start praying for no fires in Big Sur. I should have started long ago.
