Any Lightning Spots detected so far?

This article discusses some and mentions resources pulled from Caldor because of them:

Also mentions NWS recorded approx 1,100 CG strikes in California.
Another article, almost cut and paste from the first one:

Only area of interest was between the two fingers (looking to the northwest), some minimal growth and a few spots. The larger one they have lined with dozers. The rain cooled some areas down and surprisingly a few areas warmed up, probably due to the increase in winds. Otherwise the IR looked very similar to two days ago.

Throw all the lines on a map, what do you get?
Black = Contained Line.
Blue = Completed All Type Of Line.
Purple = Planned All Type Of Line.

Perimeter line changes. This is just the area of the fire I see any changes.
Teal = both days.
Red = new today.

IR from 2317 last night. Blue lines indicate contained line “Blackline”, the color blue shows up better. There is no white (previous perimeter) lines as there was no spread to speak of. Clear areas do not indicate no heat, many reasons for heat not showing on IR runs. Only eyes on the ground can determine when it is safe to enter an area.

Looking south over Lower Echo Lake. They’ve mopped up 50’ in and are going for more. General area is cooling off.

Looking south over the basin. Last pic unless something changes which I doubt as most of it is blacklined and wind tested. They opened up the North Upper Truckee Rd to folks. Welcome back. Xmas Valley is the only large area that remains closed for the basin.

Looking north over the catchers mitt of open line. All spots have been ringed. Now they’re trying to connect the all the dozer line with the handlines. The lower blue area is the Caples fire from 2019.

Still some open line around Hwy 88, but they anticipate this turning into blackline in the next couple of days.

tumbleweed · September 13, 2021, 12:15am

Xmas Valley opened up. Warning vs mandatory. Also most of SLT City goes green. No warning at all. Hwy 50 opened up to JEO Strawberry.

I’ll be on vacation for a few days, no KML uploads from me while I’m gone.
