Re: Prayers for Canadians
Ditto the thoughts.
I hope both sides will allow a little time and space before renewing the debate/discussion/arguments about oil sand harvesting.
Goodness gracious, wildfires in Canada.

I hope everybody gets out. I wish they'd let them take their belongings but I understand why speed is of the essence here.

Re: Prayers for Canadians
Most had enough time to grab a few things, but the fire is spreading so fast, that, as you say, speed was of the essence. I know there are some great stories on the news about things people saved, a portable safe with all their id in it, one man grabbed his divorce decree lol, and one woman grabbed her 2 cats, dog, and also 3 other neighbours pets.ghostjmf wrote:I hope everybody gets out.

Keep hoping for rain, as human firefighting is not cutting it right now.

Re: Prayers for Canadians
Indeed. Really hate it when human tragedy is exploited for political purposes by ANY group. Let's just worry about the people for now.mrkelley23 wrote: I hope both sides will allow a little time and space before renewing the debate/discussion/arguments about oil sand harvesting.

Re: Prayers for Canadians
Can see major smoke in the air here (may be a combination of fieldwork dust and smoke)-weird thing is that I can't smell it here-but 10 miles northwest could smell major forest fire smoke. It smells like a really strong campfire.
We are a long ways from the affected area (western Minnesota) but in a direct angle may not really be that far. Plus there may be other fires twixt here and there.

Re: Prayers for Canadians
They have to repeatedly close I-10 east of here becaue of blowing dust. The major culpret is a huge future pecan farm. They plowed up everything and we haven't had rain in a couple of months. There's a 10% and 20% chance of rain this weekend.
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

Re: Prayers for Canadians
Per Mrs S-News reports are that the haze in the air is from the Alberta fires, However, the smoke that we can smell is from fires in northern Minnesota.
Still weird that I could not smell the smoke here-but could smell it ten miles away from here.
