I've been waiting for fires to break out in NW with all this dry hot weather

[captain queeg]

So far its not bad. I'm keeping an eye on the "Lava fire" down by Shasta. Caused by lightening, not lava. I have a sister down that way. They haven't gotten any evacuation order, but evacuations have started some places. Its about 2000 aces right now. Its going to be a really bad fire year.

1. My sibling was driving through there shortly after the fire broke out. Fortunately they made it

through before the highway was closed (from the article I saw today they closed a 30 mile section).

This fire season is going to be BAD. This winter was bone dry. We are so fucked.

(I'm in the Bay Area, not anywhere near this fire. But even fires 100-200 miles away can create apocalyptic stagnant smoke situations for a week or more for communities not directly threatened by the flames).

2. Unfortunately there is fire near us that has made the air

Terrible and gray. In addition to the 106 degree temp and wind.

3. Fireworks have been on sale for 5 days. What could go wrong ? ?

5. My thoughts too

9. No bans on Fireworks?

I thought for sure the western coast states would ban them all from being sold. They did that in Texas in 2011 during the worst drought we had in decades. It was bad bad bad.

4. I have family members who plan to go camping to Trinity Lake after July 4 for a week.

I think they are freaking nuts.

A baby, a PG mom, two other children, a boat, a dog, and the dad.

It's terrifying to me.

7. wow

8. I guess you'll just have to put on your AntiFa jammies and go set some. That's how they all started

last year. Except for the ones the Jewish space laser teams were responsible for.
