My post yesterday didn't mention the lightning started fires in the Big Sur area. Well, they are out there, they're big, and below is the proof. This view was photographed just up the hill, near midnight on 6/22/08, by my friend and neighbor Alan Seales.
He was looking nearly due south, across Monterey Bay. My thanks to Alan for permission to share this image with you. Click on it for a larger version that will let you see the details and read the annotations.
Everyone keep safe!
