    Updated the OP. There are approximately 95 wildfires from the thunderstorm. Most of them appear to be small, though, and no evacuations have taken place.

    I've finally gotten this up-to-date!

    Additionally, they will be calling 2012 "Summer of Devastating Western Wildfires."

    My apologies for not keeping this up-to-date.

    The wildfire was fully contained on October 5 as expected.

    I would've turned the OP into a table for better organization like on the other forums where this is posted and added publication dates and times, but I didn't because of the whole table difficulty thing. I may sometime when I feel like it, though. (Maybe tomorrow. Who knows?) Anyway, I also added a few articles of fires that weren't directly part of the Table Mountain wildfire, but were related to it, according to the Table Mountain Fire section of Daily Record.

    Finally got the OP changed over to an organized and a working table.
