Hey Jethro, according to Mississippi Trivia, Mississippi has more Forest
than any other State.

So, Jethro, how come there are no wilfires here in Mississippi? No
mudslides or (Earthquakes, to speak of) either.Maybe Rain plays a part
in that? Yesterday evening Mississippi got some Rain, Thanks,,,,

It is worth noting that a T-storm east of the Rockies is often a very
different animal than those to the west. Out here, we see many storms
that are not at all wet, and the presence of lightning in a semi-arid
region can often lead to wildfire. Back east, where rain is typically
much more common in summer (due to the influence of the Gulf and
Atlantic), dry flammable fuel is rare, and lightning-sparked fires are
regionally much less frequent.

RHF is right, we do get many mountain T-storms, and in fact this
weekend we may see another round even near sea level in Central Cal
due to a semi-stationary E. Pacific low sending wave pulses over us.
Keep your lightning arrestors in good shape, and batten down the
hatches!

It is a shame about those wildfires burning people's property.I reckon
most of those wildfires will have to burn themselves out.Wildfires also
cause new and better growth (Forest) by burning out a lot of rubbish.

We don't live in the mountains. Like Dave said lightning is rare in
southern California. Around here it is less than once a year I hear of
any by ear or on the radio. Seeing lightning is even more rare. Usually
every few years there will be a storm that you will actually see
lightning.

California Summer Wildfires and Lightning

The present Swarm of Fires in mainly in Northern
California. The vast majority of Wild-Fires in the
Northern part of California are Lightning caused.

Significant California Wildfires - 6/25/08
http://www.fire.ca.gov/downloads/inc...Map_062508.pdf

However most of the Lightning occurs during the
Winter Months along with Rain and Cold Weather;
so these Lightning caused Fires do not get very
big; and nature takes it course.

The Hot Summers are a different matter and when
a major T&L Storm comes thru Northern California
during the Dry Season Wild-Fires are a Dangerous
and Major Problem for the Forests, Grasslands and
People too.

Presently there are Hundreds of Wild-Fires burning
in Northern California.

It has been determined that Lightning started more
than 500 Fires now burning Northern California
Wilderness Areas.

Note - Just in the Shasta-Trinity National Forest
there were about separate 75 Fires.

FWIW - Southern California Is A Land Unto Itself :
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:S...California.png
The Ten Southern most Counties of California are
basically in a different Weather and Eco-System.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecosystem

presently there is the smell of smoke in the
air throughout the Sierra Nevada foothills ~ RHF

Today I heard many Lightning Strikes on the Radio
that were happening along the Sierra Nevadas from
up at the Lake Tahoe; down to Mount Whitney; and
across to Mount Diablo.

Never saw a Lightning Flash and did not Hear the
Clash of Thunder; but the Static Bursts [Crashes]
could be Heard on the Radio from the DX Lightning.

I've been living in the Sierra Pelonas foothills for 10 years. The
thunderstorms have to dissipate all their energy to get over the
mountains. If they make it at all, there is no "storminess" left in
them. The storms generally stop at the San Andreas fault, as delineated
around here by Elizabeth Lake Rd. I get maybe 4-6" of rain a year,
except during El Nino.

Dave - California is a big place, and it is impossible to gauge the
amount of lightning statewide by your local experience. Even here in
the SF Bay Area, we get a little bit of thunder almost every year, and
occasionally we get a decent storm. I have rarely taken a summer
camping trip in the Sierra without seeing some lightning - in July and
August, it is fairly common.
