Thunderstorms

Some much appreciated rain drenched Sisters and the Milli Fire area today but with the rain came abundant lightning. So far firefighters are staffing 4 new starts, the largest is a 1 acre fire in the Diamond Peak Wilderness that is being staffed by 7 smokejumpers. This fire is low growth potential and will likely be caught and held around 1 acre.

A quick video of the rain from the viewpoint on Highway 20, you'll notice it arrived with some hail as well.
