This of course brings heat and moisture. The heavy clouds build up static electricity that just has to discharge as it passes over some of the most volatale terrain outside of lower California. We were under "flood watch", but the forecast was for only 30 percent of the area. Well the floods did not arrive, but the lightening did. The area that got the most of it was the area burned over 3 or 4 years ago, and consisting of Cheat Grass. Of course fires soon generate their own wind, and it doesn't take too long before things get interesting. I waited until I was sure that the fire was out and whatever TFR's were in place, were not in effect. The fire consumed about 1700 acres before it was put out. You will notice that at the South end of the fire, further burning was stopped by the application of Fire retardant. They use "crop dusters" first, to drop loads of retardant. It takes time and quite possibly the large tankers are in use at higher priority fires and are not available. You can see quite plainly that they effectively put out the fire on the South end of the mountain. https://vimeo.com/227323102 password owyheeflyer Larry -- *The older I get, the less tolerant I am of those who are intolerant of others.* *If you forward this email, or any part of it, please remove my email address before sending.* ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 08:41:45 PM PST US From: Larry Cottrell Subject: Re: Kolb-List: Yet another Video I made a mistake on the size of the fire, Rather than 1700 acres correct that to 17000 acres.
