Smoke/fire tracking



https://www.thenewstribune.com/news/local/article216961240.html


According to the map, there are areas like Republic, and Entiat, that are downright hazardous to be in...

I hate that shit.

No kidding. I have so much outside work to do before the rainy season, but when the air gets thick with smoke I hide inside.
I feel like taking 3 showers a day when it's thick smoke.

We should plant all the forest floors with a cover crop of marijuana.

That way, when we have forest fires, people will welcome the smoke. Or at least, after a few breathes, they simply won't care any more...

And looking at that map... Seeing that the smoke from all the fires here, is stretching across the united states...

1. It might calm down all those uptight folks. 2 All the states that are still against legal MJ, will hurry here to do the firefighting for us!

EPIC!

Let's send this idea viral. I still don't know what that kind of smoke smells like.

Apparently nobody here has ever spent any time in a NW Campground. Smoke is natural there. Campfires burning into the night and started fresh in the morning. Colder it gets the more smoke.

Just think what it was like around Puget Sound when people used wood to heat their houses or worse yet, coal.

We can thank the "Tree Huggers" of the size of these fires. Every time they hear that there will be any logging, dead timber harvesting due to bug damage, or controlled burns to clear all the underbrush, they protest, bring lawsuits, call legislators and congressmen. They do everything in their power to stand in the way of good forest management and what Nature has been doing ever since the beginning of "Trees". Sooner or later "Nature" is going to get it's way.

Nobody here is old enough to remember the Yacolt Burn in 1902 but we were taught about it when I was in school in the 50's. That and the Tillamook Burn which was several fires burning 350,000 acres or so.

Nature cleaning up but not if the tree huggers could have their way. They are the ones that think every fire needs to be put out as quickly as possible and now we're faced with decades of forest trash that needs to be cleaned up.

We haven't seen anything yet. Wait til we see a "Thanksgiving Day Storm" (1983) or a "Columbus Day Storm" (1962) while the forests are still dry and someone lights off a fire. I guess the good news will be that the smoke will blow somewhere else. Maybe California.

Oddly, I have no problem with campfire smoke.

Before they had the "no smoking" law set in place here in Washington, I had more problems just walking into a bowling alley on a Friday night.

I thought this was a post about Hempfest

Good source of information. Includes a map and websites by county.

My cabin looks to be safe, for now.

We spent the weekend at the ocean. You could see it come south and this AM, everything was back to smoke.

Drive home to Oly and it’s still crystal clear....... for now.

We went to Seaside yesterday. It was so bad down there... In Astoria you couldn't hardly see across the river to the other side.

don't forget to check you r air filters, the house filters haven't lasted 5 weeks...

We just came back from Post Falls this morning. The smoke was so thick between Post Falls and the Columbia River at Vantage that the visibility was less than 1/2 mile in most places. I have never seen smoke like that. Simply WOW
