Sitting here minding our own business, and a flash and immediate very loud kaboom announced a lightning strike close to the house.\u00a0 It was close enough that it sounded like something large landed on the house.\u00a0 A few minutes later we had another one, louder and longer thunder, and then it got quiet.\u00a0 Mostly.\u00a0 More thunder while I was writing.<\/p>\n

Until Dan noticed smoke on the hill directly across from us, like just a couple of minutes after the thunder. \u00a0 So we got in the car and went to look and sure enough, a lightning strike caused a fire.<\/p>\n

As the crow flies this is less than a mile from our house, but fires like this will burn up the hill first.\u00a0 Fortunately that isn’t the hill we’re on, but it would come this way very quickly if the wind comes up.<\/p>\n

We called 9-1-1 and reported it, and hopefully soon DNR will show up and put it out.\u00a0 It’s still growing.\u00a0 It’s really dry over there, a lot of open grass so it will go fast if they don’t get a move on.<\/p>\n
