Oh no, someone ran over Jason Anderson.
Smoke from the fires will block out the sun and thus cool temps.
Mismanagement of our forests for 50 years. Nobody wants to talk about that.
The Great Hinckley (MN) Fire of 1894
“Two fires managed to join together to make one large fire with flames that licked through the inversion finding the cool air above. That air came rushing down into the fires to create a vortex or tornado of flames which then began to move quickly and grew larger and larger turning into a fierce firestorm,” as stated by the Hinckley Museum. Flames reached heights of 200 feet. Flaming debris was sent thousands of feet into the air due to the convection column. Fire whirls moved ahead of the main fire, touching down randomly and exploding into new fires. Horizontal vortices rolled forward with such speed that horses were unable to outrun it. Even the trains had difficulty staying ahead of the fire.”

Who in the hell writes this crap?
Forest fires and volcanoes. The two largest contributors to pollution.
Not humans.
Since these happen mainly in CA and OR, maybe they should be forced to pay damages to the rest of the country.
Because SCIENCE!™
Thanks, polymuser; stolen for use elsewhere.
May I ask where in Idaho? My wife is headed out to Coeur D Alene on Thursday.
It’s just an artificial cumulonimbus cloud formed when all the moisture in the vegetation rushes straight up in a column of heat, creating the familiar anvil-topped cloud.
It won’t rain down any fire other than lightning bolts. The rising water gets chilled up high.
If you have central air distribution put your fan on circulate through a #12 (removes fine smoke particles) air filter. Use an N95 mask outdoors and tell your friends it’s not for Wuhan but smoke.
Room size air purifiers work also. You can make your own with a fan and a HEPA filter.
Last year our windows leaked bad enough we had soot on every window sill.We had weeks of bellowing smoke. We have new windows this year.
I’m on the Oregon Coast and sooner or later the winds will shift and we will get smoked.
The Delta Variant makes hurricanes.
Thank you.
I have our central air running through a not-so-cheap filter continuously. The air in the house is MUCH better than outside. I don’t even want to be outside.
I hope the smoke abates before the wind shifts for you. This is almost the slow-motion version of Pompei.
Never seen fires spawn hurricanes. Maybe they were confused. They do spawn fire tornados. Hubby was a firefighter.
That’s pretty big confusion.
