Just found this... temperatures don't look too good: source
See that red area? That's where you get forest fires.. It was bad in the east last year as well @janton.
Check this out... golfers in Vancouver, Washington in 2017. The fire was across the Columbia in Oregon... not quite as close as it looks. True golfers will play through anything!
Yes, that's true. A forest fire does not smell like woodsmoke from your fireplace. That fire near Portland was a bad one, and it was deliberately set by teenagers with fireworks. A lot of these fires are set by people, usually by accident and now and then on purpose. It's bad enough when we have lightning strikes causing fires - that can't be helped.
Well I've never been near a forest fire so I haven't smelled one and hopefully I won't ever smell one. Is Victoria surrounded by forests? California had a horrible year for fires!
Yes, I guess most of BC looks like a forest if you see it from the air or from a satellite. Better get used to it... this is climate change. And lots of that might be natural cycles and so forth, but people sure as heck are not helping any! I worry about what kind of world my kids will be left with after I'm gone.
oh. then that map looks serious. dang. that's a huge red area too isn't it? Maybe it would turn out to be that accurate.

haha! oh my gosh, that's an amazing, freaky picture! look at the size of that fire, dang. You think it's like a half mile away?
Yes, something like that. It was a big fire near Portland.
got it. howdy today sir Keith! well I like the smell of wood burning in a fireplace or campfire but not THAT much wood.
