Lightning threat brings wildfire dangers [Video]

SAN DIEGO (FOX 5/KUSI) — When most people see the big puffy clouds on the eastern horizon, they see the wonder of shape-shifting animals and objects rolling across the sky, but experts and rescuers see one more thing to be concerned about.

“We are seeing unusual fire activity, but that’s because we have a lot of fuel from the result of two wet years. So brush is deep and thick, and there’s a lot of it,” said Alex Tardy from the National Weather Service.

These cumulonimbus clouds the puffy, tall brilliantly white isolated monsters hovering over San Diego can also bring lighting.

“We’ve seen a lot of strikes down in the southeastern part of our county and up through some of the desert areas,” said Capt. Mike Cornette from Cal Fire San Diego.
