Sheriff officers watch as flames from the Hog fire approach highway 36 about 5 miles from Susanville, California on July 20, 2020. The fire exploded to more than 6,000 acres and created its own weather, generating lightning, thunder, rain and fire whirls out of a huge pyrocumulonimbus ash plume towering above. The Lassen County Sheriff's office issued a mandatory evacuation order for the area. (Photo by Josh Edelson/AFP Photo)
