There are over 130 fires burning in Southern Oregon from Sunday's lightning strikes. Lots of evacuations.

Generally, rain comes with thunderstorms, along with lightning strikes.

34 - 36C forecast in the next few days and currently only 10% precipitation, 50% humidity. Wind gusts to 33MPH.

Not looking good.

having lived in a bushfire area for a long time i have seen that picture several times, once with the fire passing right past our house.

only being diverted by our own fire fighting sprinkler system.

amazing i was never worried as the fire approached as i had full trust the system we built and installed would not stop a fire but make it go around our home, which it did.

money very well spent.

Fingers crossed no one gets hurt or has their property destroyed.
Heatwaves in Europe too with forest fires in Sweden.

seems a basic element like fire or water can bring man kind to his knees. for all our advances we cannot control nature.
