Canada Fires 2023

[wm02]

Can’t even the fathom the scope of the wildfires—that’s a massive area.
Can feel the effects here in DC hundreds and hundreds of miles away

Very, very hazy today.
Strong smell of smoke as well

As per my last post, stay indoors and find your leftover masks.
Stay safe

I went to that Canadian National Vimy Memorial in France on a school trip in the 90's. Apparently it's classed as Canadian ground and the guide kept telling us we're officially in Canada. I'm very lucky not to be caught up in all of this to be honest with you.

A close call mate, glad you're ok.

For context .... as you're in the US and its probably different over there, the BBC app runs news articles daily. What you can always count on a daily basis, is there being at least one article where a minor gripe is being expressed by a woman demanding sympathy. The kind of gripe lots of people have every day and hardly newsworthy... but what's happened is that some lazy reporter has bumped into a moaning Minnie in a coffee shop and run with the story. It's hardly ever a man that gets in the news this way. I've no idea why and don't really care, it's just an observation, which you can't miss once you see it.

Barely got away with all that fighting in the trenches that were there not long before. You've had some near misses.

You are in my prayers.

Decide to start it's own thread.

Hope all our Canadian toffees are safe!!

I follow this guy and if it wasn't for him I wouldn't know about it, can'tremember seeing it on the news. Also the drought in Spain and Portugal, the intense heat in India, and others, all these scenarios happening around the globe and not getting the appropriate airtime.
Worth following.

On the upside: with all the trees gone there can't be a massive fire for the next 5 years or so.

Been wondering if their color coding is effective. I would think a Code Purple would be less severe than a Code Red

If you ever saw Purple Aki then you'd know why purple is a step up from a code red.

And that Bataclan attack. I'm putting a euro millions on tomorrow.

Had my windows shut all night and was running the air filter, but my indoor air quality index is still 82. Usually, it's about 2-4.
