Also I hope you arent one of the members here still engaging or caught up in protest-riots for lack of better words.. Did CHAD ever chill out? IDK I've tried to keep up with the madness, but honestly we all got lives, mouths to feed n shit.. Forgive me if you are still in the middle of some mass chaos somehow I try to stay busy...

anyone hear from our friend from here? im pretty sure shes safe but just checking. i dont think the wind will be blowing north tonight. 

I just got the emergency evacuation for Estacada since I'm nearby in Oregon City.  I'm trying to think of a plan and place to stay.  It's pretty bad out here. Pretty freaked out ngl

God damn this videos are depressing. I have never expereienced a wild fire can someone explain what exactly happened to these places? It looks like a nuke went off or something.

From science, wildfires are typically started by lightning or gender reveal parties. While they can be good for the woods and turn old dead plant matter into soot they arent too good for people living in the woods. Many trees are hardy enough to withstand brushfire easily, but when the fire gets big it gets really hot. So when the heat is turned way up everything is fuel. Fuel + oxygen + catalyst is fire.

Trees are hardy enough to withstand wildfires as long as they aren't already damaged by drought and its related infestations.

That is also an element of wildfires. The natural ones burn away the vegetation that is sapping resources for more fit plants. 

But sometimes it's a boy!

I never really understood how they spread so quickly until I saw a video of dry brush that lit up like it was doused in gasoline. The seconds it took for those flames to spread so far was terrifying to watch.

It seriously gets hot enough to melt the cars and reduce buildings to rubble? That is scary.

We had a wood burning stove at our house and I was barred from tending fires because I could get them going at 1500 degrees. My brother would be dying of heat stroke while it was 12 below outside, lol. So after the US collapses I'll man a forge.

Update:  Evacuated with my two cats to a hotel in NE Portland.

I bet the fur babies are not taking this very well. Make sure to spoil them with tuna for being good little troopers.

They're doing better today.  They were stuck in a too small carrier together for three hours in the car yesterday. I had to wipe them down and spray them with shampoo stuff because their fur smelled like wildfire and it was freaking them out.

almost a week of the worst air in the world. finally getting some rain tonight. 

This would be an awesome segue for Nabs, but he has a character arc to dedicate himself to and he'll have to miss this gold.

Allow me to recreate the experience

Needing and begging for rain because a disproportionate amount of hogs need to constantly congeal in the coolest of environments while it's pure hell outside with no signs of ever being a sustainable desert that so many inhabitants have lulled themselves into thinking they are enjoying.  Mere moments away from being nothing more than a wasteland riddled with crumbling strip malls and conservatives who vote blue. I wish I was a carrot.

I mean, it's not perfect...but you get the jist.

Settle down, I know you think you know what's going on...but you don't.  

Amber Rose lives in my head rent free.

Donald trump lives in my head rent free

The militia of armed thugs with badges live in my head rent free......

I'm just leaving some tender vittles out for my homeless friend because i know he can't resist.

He's dead.  Are we not allowed to grieve in our own way?
