I took this yesterday.
Hefty storm went through. Killed my well motor so I went out to start it. Lightning also struck an oil tank battery. Out here they just have to let those burn. FD makes sure nothing else is at risk and then let it go. There just isn’t the equipment to put those out out here.
So there’s a lot of smoke right? Well the air was doing weird shit. It was dead ass calm where I was several miles away, but obviously it wasn’t calm the whole way.
The fire is in the bottom right of the picture.
