Approximately 3,000 houses remains without power until next week.
‘Thunderstorms have moved across the fireground, initially causing some erratic fire behaviour and lightning strikes.’
2 people have died in Vanuatu and New Zealand is grappling with power outages, school closures, strong winds, and heavy rain.
A rare summer thunderstorm brought lightning that sparked several small blazes in Northern California and stoked a huge wildfire.

Each day, thunderstorms around the world produce about a thousand quick bursts of gamma rays, some of the highest-energy light naturally found on Earth. By merging records of events seen by NASA’s Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope with data from ground-based radar and lightning detectors, scientists have completed the most detailed analysis to date of the types of thunderstorms involved.
