We were expecting a front to come through over the weekend...50% chance of rain. It came through and it didn't rain a single drop. The storms fired up way southeast of us.

There was an interview with a firefighter on the news that said even the soil, which has enough organic matter in it, will catch fire and burn. The dirt itself burns, even when no grass is present.

Dirt burns? Sheesh.

We had a thunderboomer come through last night. Woke me up out of dead sleep.

The power flickered on and off a few times, but didn't stay out for very long. Thank goodness.
