Electric mayhem

By this point you've likely gotten a glimpse or two of the major lightning activity that happened across Aurora on Wednesday evening. We're now getting multiple reports via police scanner of grass fires in the area, many of which — I think it stands to reason — could be sparked by lightning strikes.
A lot of the calls are situated at the Aurora Reservoir, this year's Parade of Homes sites and other areas in southern Aurora. If you have any incredible photos of the electrical activity in the skies from tonight or the possible grass and brush fires, e-mail me at charrop@aurorasentinel.com for possible inclusion in an upcoming edition of the Sentinel or online at this blog or www.aurorasentinel.com.
