Electrified OR Sky During Day Two of USFS Fire Helicopter Show
Aug. 24, 2025
We had a rain shower at around 1pm. Around us were more severe thunderstorms including hail. The cell showed up on the radar north of Frazier Park in the mountains and Central Valley.
We had a Special Weather Statement in effect this afternoon. This usually means thunderstorms and hail. Pea sized hail was forecast, but we only heard the thunder and saw the electrified clouds on the edge of the system with rain in the distance.
All afternoon, the US Forest Service was performing a very expensive and annoying game of make-believe for the community. They performed the same act yesterday. A fire helicopter flew back and forth relentlessly because of the weather statements regarding thunder and lightning. They want us to believe that dry lightning is a huge problem, because in their reality, lightning doesn't come with rain in our parched, drought stricken state.
In the reality we actually live in, lightning tends to come with rain. I asked Google's AI about it and it said that the probability of a lightning strike causing a wildfire is 0.0003%.
While the USFS performed live for mountain residents with helicopters, the news put out stories of lightning sparked wildfires for people in the LA area who tend to stay in and avoid helicopter shows. After all, the people in the city could only see the billowing thunderheads over the distant mountains and were not necessarily experiencing the rain that the mountains and desert got with this monsoonal thunderstorm.
ABC7 downplayed heavy rain in the desert and played up wildfires allegedly caused by lightning saying, "Lightning ignited several small fires across Southern California on Saturday. A few fires were sparked on Saturday morning in the Angeles National Forest, prompting responses from firefighters at locations from Mount Baldy to the Antelope Valley, officials said." Several fires? Wildfires sparked by lightning are rare, but we had several in a relatively small area all in one morning?
How can we verify that lightning even started these fires? The video accompanying the ABC article as of 9pm showed fires in hills and desert locations where the weather was sunny with no signs of clouds that could produce lightning (or rain, of course, which the media forgets usually comes with lightning). Fires reportedly started by lightning happen in remote areas where no one can verify anything about them most of the time, except the US Forest Service, who routinely perform prescribed burns.
What I can verify is that the fire that they say started in Wrightwood yesterday morning due to lightning occurred about an hour before the radar showed rain moving through the area. The narrative of wildfires started by lightning is being pushed very hard right now, and the US Forest Service is very active around thunderstorms.

The Forest Service disrupted everyone's weekend over a bunch of fakery and deception. The helicopter show was senseless and expensive as well. There were no fires, only nearby rain. The places that these wildfires were burning in the ABC7 video didn't have the atmospheric conditions to produce lightning.
These fires are being set on purpose. They have nothing to do with lightning and are only attributed to lightning for people who don't understand that lightning and rain go together and specific conditions must be met for lightning to even occur. It would seem that fires are being set right before rain puts them out. The US Forest Service is a common presence in these events.
