Beckworth Cam showing a significant column building in the SE corner of the Sierra Valley just east of Loyalton, very northern tip of the Tahoe. While the map shows a few bits of the HTF in there as well, my intel shows TNF though for now. Aircraft orbiting here on google maps.
T88, 89 on it load return from Reno Stead
Also Babbit Peak cam - just south of the fire.

Possibly a lightning strike? Looking at the radar, looks like a cell just rolled through there!

Do the three hour rewind and you’ll see some of the thunderstorm activity:

Or, the Babbitt camera… the rewind shows the thunderstorms too.

I will open an IA thread in 30-45, if one isn’t opened by then. It’s a little tough on an iPhone to do.
