Thew NorthWest is burning

[Comshaw]

While Texas starts to dig out from the horrendous flooding, the Pacific NorthWest is going up in smoke. We have literally hundreds (1102 total) of fires through out Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana and Northern California. Here's a map of all the fires now burning. We could use a little of that rain that Texas didn't want.

The Eagle Creek fire in Oregon is a nasty one. It's just above the town of Cascade Locks.

Dry as a bone summers make lots of kindling.

Seems this year is very extreme.

I wish luck and courage to the firefighters.

I have friends in Hood River and they said it is raining ash up there at a ridiculous rate.

These fires may and I say may, put a damper on my leaving the 17th.

Wildfires are scary shit, especially for those of us living near a wilderness interface. Two years ago we were within 1/2 mile of mandatory evacuation from the third hugest fire in California history. We had all our most valuable packed into two cars, waiting for the word to go, and by which escape route. Fuck, those were nerve-wracking days.

Basic rule of survival: When the flames head your way, go. Just go.

The smoke is so thick I haven't seen much of the outside in the last week or so.

Even here in Illinois we had a hazy dark day yesterday. Weather people said it was from the smoke out west.
I remember when we lived in Florida one summer fires burned a lot north of us and it looked like night during days. We had to stay inside because of ash.

We'd rather drown or get blown away than burn. It must be terrible for people trapped.

 

[Comshaw]

We don't have many large fires burning where I am, but the smoke from the big ones east of us is so thick the sun is blood red and you can look directly at it (for a second or two) without harm. Last night the moon was barely visible through the smoky haze and it too was a dark blood red. Yea, for those fleeing the fires, or loosing their homes it's terrible.

Shit is crazy this year....I've never seen quite this many big fires at the same time.

The smoke is so nuts we've got everything sealed off and 2 large carbon air filters in the house, an 8" (1100CFM) in the living room an a 6" (400~CFM) at the opposite end of the house working the hallway most the bedrooms are off of.

They work GREAT, mopping up any trace smoke that leaks into the house, worth every penny if you got smoke problems. Get mufflers with em' because noisy but otherwise these things have been total life savers.

Available at your local hydro shop

Good think we've proved Climate Change to be a hoax, so we can go ahead and blame all these extreme things on the gays and muslims.
































and Obama.

You sure it's not an alphabet agency shooting heat rays down from solar satellites? Some of the Deep State stuff, fer sure.

Cascadia is losing much of its bigfoot habitat. Sad and scary times.

 

[pink]

The whole thing is just incredibly sad.

Cascadia is losing much of its bigfoot habitat. Sad and scary times.

When the long Cascadia fault slips with a 9.5 shake soon, about all human habitation west of I-5 in Oregon and Washington will be reduced to rubble (and I don't mean Barney) while the coast and lower river courses will be scoured clean.

Fortunately, many sasquatch live in the Siskiyou and Coast Ranges; their habitat is more at risk from cannabis farmers. I read that some cartels enslaved sasquatch to work their off-the-grid pot plantations. Doesn't the 13th Amendment apply? Sasquatch qualify as Native Americans, right?

Apparently the fire was started by teenagers setting off firecrackers.

Side of the mountain is on fire. That is incredibly sad.

 

[BotanyBoy]

Got some fresh air down here finally.

Hopefully the little sprinkle last night helps the firefighters.
