Kern had a nice lightning storm pass through this morning. Multiple lightning strikes starting to show smoke as the daylight
starts shining.

It stopped running the loop after a few minutes.
Try this map as well. Might have to scroll to California since it’s a world wide view,

Might be a little confusion on the location. Edmonston is well within KRN.

MOD NOTE:
All,
This could turn out to be a busy day for many. To assist everyone in the community, please start a Q&D for the appropriate fire and geographical area if a fire is confirmed. If an IA is warranted, do the same. We will do our best to assist with the placement and tracking. Your local knowledge, assistance, and patience will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
FJ
