So far I see only one little cloud to the northeast of us. Weather guy on Spokane TV says the clouds will probably head Idaho/Montana direction. We have couple firecrews, guys on standby in our little community just in case some little cloud gets all worked up and produces lighting. I almost lost my home about 18 years ago and the firecrews fought so hard to bring that fire under control. It was caused by high wind that took down a powerline and the dry grass caught fire and took half the hill we live on. The fire came right up to the house and a picture window broke from the heat but they saved the house. I put my dogs and my cat and pictures in my car and I could hardly drive away I was crying so hard. When all the smoke cleared our home was still standing. One of the firemen said it was a good thing we kept our lawn as green as we have because it burned right up to the edge of the lawn. I am so thankful to those men and women who stayed around for several days mopping up the little fires from the down trees and stumps. For months after every time I'd smell smoke it would all come flashing back. Your photo of the dark gray clouds are pretty, hope they stay friendly.
