⚡ Dry Lightning Lab: Virga, Cloud Charging and Fire Ignition

Why does a thunderstorm that gives no rain at the ground still start wildfires? Evaporate a Marshall-Palmer rain shower below a high cloud base (Rogers-Yau drop evaporation with ventilation), charge a cloud pocket until E = Q/(eps0 pi R^2) reaches the breakdown field, watch a branched stepped-leader flash, and follow the ignition odds and fire spread (Anderson ellipse, Dijkstra front) over Blender-built scrubland.
