Seton Lake is very smoky and I gather the fire flared up again last night.
It's the first time I've seen the fire up close. This picture was taken at the beginning of the bridge into town.
It's a wonder the pilots are able to see in all the smoke.
Last night we had over 8 hours of thunder & lightning, and then rain would pour down in buckets. I ended up taking video and extracting the pictures because it wasn't easy taking stills. Not the best quality pictures but they show what we saw until well after midnight. Earlier the sound of the thunder made you cover your ears but as the storm moved towards Lytton the thunder wasn't near as loud. The storm caused a few more fires and sadly we are expecting another thunderstorm this afternoon.

I put together a quick video at YouTube:

GREAT pictures! Worse than the smoke for the choppers are the updrafts caused by the heat from the fires. Scary stuff. Isn't awful that the rain is welcome in hopes of putting out the fires but along with comes lightening that starts more fires?
Thanks Gail, I'm glad you enjoy my pictures and my blog :)
Quite the video... AB

The audio on the video was great! Yeah! I saw that !
I hope that you have lots of rain and little to no lightening!
