I'm in Surprise and can see the lightning pretty well over by you. 2 good strikes right now.
It's making its way towards me. Lighting, thunder, wind, and barking dogs.I think the worse has passed now...at least for us. Thank goodness some rain fell and I think it put the fire out.....
Stay safe everybody

View attachment 792590 It was really bad. I think the rain may have snuffed it
Was out back watching the show and then all of a sudden a fire popped up in Tonto Forest towards Seven Springs not to far from here. Friggin winds are blowing straight at us and ligting hitting all over. No rain which is a major problem. Can smell the smoke now
This is in the N N Scottsdale AZ area
Hoping this calms down now..............
Send me an Italian sub from Guidos....Scottsdale and Shea!
About noon today we had a good rain, hail and wind. Not much lightning though.
About 9pm, lots of lightning over the Badshaws...not good, don't know if there's rain. We already have a fire burning N NW of Prescott that was caused by a strike.
No, this is out more south of Seligman. If you drew a line from Prescott to Seligman, about 20 miles north of Prescott They are "Managing" this one...watching it burn as long as it stays away from houses. The problem is there are some bigger cattle ranches out there. Those guys have lost a lot of grazing already.Is that the fire that shut down the 17 last week?
Wow! RDP boots on the ground reporting I'm on the far east side of the valley. Been watching the plume change day to day.View attachment 792616 View attachment 792617 View attachment 792618 View attachment 792619 Sheridan fire burning in the Camp Wood area west of Williamson Valley. Started August 5, lightning strike. Second strike nearby a couple of days ago. First pic is storm clouds building over Prescott Valley. Second pic is Sheridan fire west of our house. Third pic is fire growing and smoke coming over the house. I turned 180 and took the last pic of monsoon in Chino Valley.
