The heat index is 114. We are most likely going to get some rain this evening, however, I don't think the mountains will Quoting: gabelmom Leesburg...damn, right down the street from me. I smelled it too. Though someone was burning a pile of leaves or something. |

It was like 6 am and when I first smelled it I thought it was strange to have a fire going so early. |

I mumbled to my husband something about wildfires being started by lightning....this is really creepy Quoting: Anonymous Coward 17920575 THANK YOU, I'm in NJ and I seen the weirdest lightening, it was dayglow orange. My husband said nah it's heat lightening. I'm like um no I seen a bolt, a thick bolt no splitting into different directions strike the same place twice. I have never seen lightening like that in my life and I'm not young. BTW it struck in the woods but luckily there has been so much rain it didn't burn. It didn't look like normal lightening that I have seen. |

I'm in "Central Va." and about 30 minutes ago there was a large boom in our county. Of course, it's been hot as hell all day, so I'm thinking it was probably a transformer or something. Isn't there a place where there's been an underground fire burning for a very long time... years or decades even if I'm recalling correctly. All of this reminds me of the end of the movie "Knowing". |

It didn't sound like fireworks. But, could have been a transformer or something. We both heard AND felt it. Fun. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 8282477 This is really random but I read this thread title to my husband (who is not into this conspiracy stuff at all) and he said that he saw on the news a couple months ago that a plot of Osama Bin Laden was to plan a rash of wildfires throughout the US as payback. I know it sounds crazy but it's weird for my husband to comment on anything from this site at all. Seemed pretty serious. Ain't sayin' jsut sayin' |

Also loud booms have been heard throughout, so I am wondering if that could be due to atmospheric conditions. Has there been any fatalities or injured reported. Peace. |

I hope they get it under control. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 18776238 They wont, years of dead brush and this heat wave with no rain will ensure these fires burn for a long while. They might as well give up and get everyone to safety at this point vs wasting time trying to stop these large fires. The damage they cause will be cheaper then spending all this cash trying to stop it, fail, then pay to fix it anyways :P From what I am told we have already spent MILLIONS trying to stop these fires and we have NOTHING to show for it. |

Hopefully this helped with the fires. I smelled the smoke faintly couple of times today, but not near as bad as yesterday. |
