There are currently 74 wildfires burning in the western United States, many of them are approaching heavily populated cities such as Seattle, Portland, Sacramento, and Los Angeles. The La Tuna fire is now officially the brush fire in LA history. Air quality warnings are being issued across the entirety of Oregon, Washington, and Idaho. I’m in Portland, about 40 miles out from the nearest wildfire, and it’s raining ash and difficult to breathe due to the haze.
If you live anywhere near these fires, you’ve probably heard this by now, but please be safe. Stay indoors if at all possible and keep windows closed. Keep pets indoors as well. Hopefully some of our trademark Portland rain will come soon to help minimize the damage.
i’ve actually heard almost nothing about any of these fires, but i knew they were there bc i can fuckin smell ‘em, i can see the smoke n i can feel ‘em in the air.
In Portland, weather forecast says rain should come Wednesday night
I’m unfamiliar with this, is this saying that it’s strengthening too fast for models to predict, or that it’s going beyond our measurements for hurricanes?
its going beyond our measurements for hurricanes.
truly i hope yall out there will be okay though. and if any of you are caught out in this and still have access to the internet some how and need a donation fund set up for you like message us we’ll help you as best as we can.
