Fizzzzle Posted July 14, 2021 Author Share Posted July 14, 2021 Bootleg fire, nation’s largest, grows to over 200,000 acres as evacuations expand to Lake County WWW.OREGONLIVE.COM The rapid growth prompted the Klamath County Sheriff’s Office to threaten arrests to anyone who ignored evacuation orders. 200k acre fire that is apparently 0% contained.

Littleronin Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 We have a fire about 40 miles from here now that started yesterday (lightning strike) but they were unable to get crews and air out to it due to extreme weather (high winds and thunderstorms) went from nearly a really small fire to 1000 acres and cause are air quality to plummet in just a couple of hours. Looks like they finally have a small crew out there but the air support hasnt been able to help due to more storms in the area. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Littleronin Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 Looks like this caught a break this morning with this one as they did a prescribed burn in the area this past winter. Which has halted Westerly advance. Early this morning air crews where given clearance. But they are still worried about East and North movement. Air quality is still a bit shit here but we have a window where it will clear up for about 12 hours due to a wind shift. And the forecast is calling for clear skies until Sunday which bring just more thunderstorms. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All it takes is one extreme weather event to potentially unravel entire ecosystems for years. When we are having these types of extreme once-in-a-century events multiple times per year, now, we are going to see massive ecological damage that could have runaway effects in some regions.

Littleronin Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 Interesting to see how quickly the response to some of these fire escalates. The fire near here went 2 helicopters and 2 air tankers this morning to being assigned 4 and 6 a few hours later. Engines went from 6 to 27. Amazing what can happen when the weather clears a bit for things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaladinSolo Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 Don't worry the people living through this terrible thing will surely come around that climate is be thrown out of whack! As Bootleg Fire burns, conservative towns in Oregon question climate change - The Washington Post WWW.WASHINGTONPOST.COM In a row of small conservative towns, the flames are unlike anything they’ve seen before. Instead of concerns over global warming, though, there is blame directed at environmentalists, marijuana farmers and potential looters. The West has been beset by historic drought and heat waves this year exacerbated by climate change, but among the small towns that have been threatened by the Bootleg Fire — Sprague River, Beatty, Bly — there is little talk of global warming. Instead, residents vent about the federal government’s water policies and forest management. They blame liberal environmentalists for hobbling the logging industry and Mexican marijuana farmers for sucking up the area’s water. “Now the top end of the Forest Service are a bunch of flower children,” said Jim Rahi, 71, who was filling up his 3,600-gallon water tanker to deliver to firefighters in the town of Lakeview, east of the spreading fire. “That’s what the real problem is. It’s not that much hotter. It’s environmentally caused mismanagement.” Oh wait, they'll blame not cutting down all the trees, conserving water, and Mexicans. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b_m_b_m_b_m Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 A few years ago I was driving on interstate 5 in the central valley during a drought and the farmers had signs blaming Nancy Pelosi for it. She was the minority leader at the time. Climate change works incredibly fast on a geologic timeline, but that's still well within a human lifetime--enough for humans to forget how it was 50-70 years ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feels the same here in PA. I'm tired of rain. It's sometimes everyday or every other day. Wish this weather would get pushed far out west where its desperately needed. I have a big tree line in my back yard that's taking a beating with these storms all the time. It's technically on the railroads property and they let the trees get way too tall for their own good. One fell on my shed in April but I was able to repair the damage myself. Then last week during one of the many rainy days, an even bigger tree fell right up against the shed but didn't damage it this time. Tree runs the whole length of my back yard and it's weighing power lines down. Power company hasnt cared to look at it yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here in a pic I took in 2018 of a sunset here. There was a fire that produced ash in our town. I think this was a cell phone pic because I was coming home from the store or something.
