Thinking
There is a video about half way down this page of a tree exploding with fire. I've never seen anything quite like it.

I've seen lightning totally annihilate a tree, that was more of an explosion tho, like a bomb....just blew apart, roots and all.
Anyway, yea, never seen anything like that yet.
Luckily we didn't have the fire season we normally do. Our smoke jumpers have mostly gone south to help the West Coast crews. I'm proud of our fire crews up here. It is usually bad, but we got spared this year with the extra rains up north.
Sorry to see the West in flames. Stay safe.

Had some excitement last night, I heard the call over the scanner and was able to catch some of it on video.
Officer said the orange Challenger almost hit him while he was on a traffic stop, not sure if he was out on foot or in the unit.
I assume by the distance between them, he was out on foot and had to get back into his unit to take chase.
They called the chase off after 2 miles for safety reasons.
