Got a nice picture of a dying funnel cloud over Forest Grove, Oregon this afternoon.
Video of the closest strike last night. According to the map, it hit a couple of blocks away.

Earlier I showed a PurpleAir site near the #LookoutFire with an AQI of 1952 and speculated that it was due to a smoke column collapse.

After looking at the data and satellite imagery this appears to have been wrong. It looks like a #smoke haboob caused by a diurnal westerly surge accumulating briefly incredibly dense smoke like a dust cloud from an Arizona t-storm gust front as it moved what had stagnated near the fire toward the east.
