Fires in Oregon are VERY Close

[antelopedundee]

I realize that global warming does not cause fires. It makes conditions more flavorable for fires to happen. The thing I was wondering about is if this is happening then why is it affecting almost only the western US and not other countries that have climates similar to the US.

A meteorologist might have an explanation for that.

Thank you Jesus!! it's been 2 weeks + 2 days since we've had some blue sky, and didn't have to breath thick smokey air.

While I did see then sun for a little while, it was still a little smoky here. Tomorrow is the big for us..............

Finally got some rain last night. Smoke is suppressed for a while. Woke up to this:

We got showers up here on the wet side of WA. Hopefully you guys in Orygun got some too. Looks like more showers over the next few days, fingers crossed. Still got that damn smoke. It's like being in a Honky Tonk on Saturday night when you smoked at the bar. Our great Guvner Initformeesly attributes these fires to global warming. Well, this year on the wet side of WA was as normal a weather year as you can get. Rain til the 4th of July, moderate temps all summer, occasional showers. NOT exactly a global warming type summer. I don't think the Guv dude was paying attention, just spouting his favorite BS.

Happening right now.

We fished the Rogue today for salmon.
Didn't catch any fish, but we got soaked.
Probably drained 5 gallons of water out of the drift boat.

Great to see you guys getting a break from all the fire and smoke hazards. Enjoy while you can.
