FIRE WEATHER: LAL 3=>4 tonight. LOL! Never happened here! (LAL = Lightning Activity Level)

The "MOTHER-OF-ALL-LIGHTNING-STORMS" never happened here. It did happen in NorCal and other parts of Oregon. So I have NO lightning pics to post. Bummer. Here is a consolation photo (and you saturation purist - YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE - shield your eyes):


Oregon Canal System in Deschutes County


BTW: More photos just posted in the Photo Forum

I replied, "Why?", and then thought that sounded snarky, so I deleted rather than edit: dumb!
