That Summerland fire was nuts, grew something like 2000 hectares in an hour and went from 50 to 5000 hectares in 3 hours. Many have said they've never seen a fire grow that fast.

As Topper said, its very dry here right now and the grass on that side of the lake and mountains is so dry all it took was a decent wind and it nearly took out the whole town.

Checked in on you off line so I know your situation.

What about BoS?

We’re fine. Smokey as all hell, but nothing to report

Good news Blades...thanks for checking in.

The heatwaves in Europe have caused widespread drought and several major rivers - Rhine, Danube, Elbe - are at record low levels, causing a lot of problems. River transports are reduced or impossible, at least two nuclear powerplants have been shut down as they rely on river water as a coolant and in some areas of Czechia there is no tap water available.

As a direct result of global warming, a glacier in the Himalayas collapsed, causing a major mudslide.

Thanks 5th, that's one dramatic article.

Should maybe be in the were all gonna die thread.



I hope we live.

We’ll be fine. It’s our grandkids I worry about.
They may be inheriting a hellscape.

I'm hoping it means more snow in the mountains this winter.

Ski/snowboarding, water table?

Or both?

I'm going to continue burning Styrofoam because alberia is way too fucking cold

I could arrange for some tires to be shipped over to you from Africa/India.

Resort skiing, snowshoeing, and looking to get into backcountry skiing.
