A thunder and lightning storm moved quickly through the Eastern Sierra Friday afternoon, July 6, 2007, igniting approximately 10 fires. As of Thursday,evening the two remaining fires being managed as the Inyo Complex include the Sage Fire in Big Pine Canyon and the Seven/Oak Fires west and north of Independence, on both sides of US 395. These fires are now 80% contained.

Inciweb is back up for all your fire-obsessing needs, and the Inyo Fire has settled down (the human-caused Zaca Fire in the Los Padres, however, is only 37 percent contained).

Bruce Willey took some astonishing photographs while the fire raged through his neighborhood near Owens Valley, which he's given me permission to post.
