Grabbed a couple video clips off the Mac…hopefully @ALERTWildfire can capture some of these from the source for training/demonstrations. Would be great to have a repository of 30sec clips of things like this that Training folks can include in their presentations.
Last night’s sundown 1hr loop from Antelope Cam
The outflow from the 1hr loop just now on Fort Jones cam

Throwing strikes in the Beegum Creek and Post Creek drainages, another cell just formed west of Hayfork tossing strikes. Hayfork Bally reports rumbles and virga
CAIIMT 2 (Johnny) assigned to the McKinney Inbried 7/31 @1200
Plenty of lightning activity with it along with more in northern Siskiyou and some east of Redding
what program is that? Blitztorn is not showing any strikes in the area.
That’s showing satellite detections of lightning pulses, so it picks up every flash that happens at any level in the clouds.
is there a way to tell if any of them are groundstrikes?
Thanks, BrushSlasher!
Antelope caught the outflows as they moved towards Yreka. Any word as to what it did to the fire? Looks like it would have spilled it everywhere.
Re "is there a way to tell if any of them are groundstrikes? Not from satellite. I read they had figured out a way to tell a difference between ground strikes and the rest from the radio static signature created, but I don’t know if anything has been put into service and available to the public???
Any current command freqs?
