dviss, sorry about that bad placed joke. wasn't thinking. hope all is well. just saw troutdale is on level one (get ready) evacuation. east of 257th and north of stark.
Wildfires are an age-old, often completely natural event and are actually necessary for forest sustainability. Of course, this one was started by a couple of insolent pyromaniac fucktards and it sucks to see it impacting so many people, but the point remains that there always have been and always will be wildfires. And like with any other singular event, connecting it back to climate change is both ignorant and scientifically unsound.
I'm following this fire from CA and boggled by the intensity. Hope everyone and their loved ones stay safe.
MHCC is right on the edge of evac one area and if i'm not mistaken, it had been set up as a shelter for folks coming from the east. Damn that's cutting it close. This is nuts.
Thank you. I probably responded a bit harshly. Sorry for that. I literally have family that: Evacuated Houston only to evacuate the place he went to which were my other cousins. Evacuated Cascade locks and N. Bonneville (We still have yet to hear from my Ex-wife's Brother who was in Cascade locks. He isn't answering). Live in the path of that fucking Bitch Irma... I also have a funeral to go to on Thursday. My God Brother just died of Brain Cancer. That said, I'm healthy and prospering, and my son is transferring to a way better school. His family (on both sides) are having lots of trouble where they live.
Hasn't rained in months. No rain in sight. Strong winds. Lots of shit to burn. It could get really bad. Really really bad.
Today the weather only made it worse, apparently with the weather we have coming tomorrow and Thursday it's supposed to help but I have no idea how the process works on the ground
There's virtually no wind where I'm at which is only a few miles west of the Troutdale evac area. On the river.
I'm so fucking pissed. So much natural beauty going to waste. I want to string up the kids that caused this so that they can get roasted by their own fucking ignorance. Fuck this shit.
