Fortunately, I don't think it caused any fires, seemed entirely cloud-to-cloud.
Not a drop of rain though.
In the fall and winter, 34% chance of rain means that it rains 34% of the time.

Apparently, there was some water yesterday at very high elevations.

P.S. This is a "once in seven years" catch, maybe more. Loving it.
