CA-TNF-Loyalton??

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.

  • PGE Liberty on the west side of Sierra Valley - 91F 20RH W7G19
  • TNF Portable - south of the fire in the Smithneck Creek drainage it looks like, midslope, 87F 22RH N2G5

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

not sure if the fire created the pyro cloud or it it mixed with a passing thunderstorm?

Or at least start an IA. I don’t have enough info

I can’t get it to let me start one…

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.
