The Douglas Complex of fires started Friday after 54 blazes were ignited by lightning. Some of the fires since joined together, and they have combined to scorch about 10,000 acres.
That's actually a pretty common occurrence around here. There's currently another small-but-growing series of fires just east of here.
Now, tornadoes, those we don't get. (Well, we do have the Emerald City, so maybe we do get some fallout from tornadoes.
) We don't do heat either.
