🌩️ Yesterday’s lightning event resulted in approximately 140 lightning strikes across Lake and Klamath counties. Of those strikes, 12 fires were reported with the largest being ten and a half acres. #FireYear2020 DYK: Positive lightning is particularly dangerous. It originates at the top of a thunderstorm, where cloud tops are positively charged and can strike as many as 25 miles away from its parent thunderstorm, where the ground is negatively charged.
