Oregon’s Bootleg Fire, amplified by a historic draught and weeks of extreme heat, is expected to grow in the coming days as first responders are hampered by storms and strong winds. The season’s largest wildfire is so powerful, that it’s generating “fire clouds” (or pyrocumulonimbus clouds) that can spur their own hurricanes, lighting, and thunder (watch above). The possibility of “fire tornadoes” also exists.
“The fire is so large and generating so much energy and extreme heat that it’s changing the weather,” said Marcus Kauffman, a spokesman for the state forestry department. “Normally the weather predicts what the fire will do. In this case, the fire is predicting what the weather will do.”

Air quality warnings on the East Coast caused by fires on the West Coast. These fires are creating their own weather. The sunsets are pretty, but not good for your health.

It feels like we’re asphyxiating here in Idaho.
I’m wondering if they make a house-sized version of one of those oxygen generating machines.

Probably an old wives’ tale, but have long heard that smoke from big fire seasons causes rainy winters.

No.
Just no.

Get used to it:
It’s called FIRE ECOLOGY, not ‘climate change’.
Tiring of all the flippin hype over a natural cycle predating humans by hundreds of thousands of years.

Bootleg started about ten miles from my home. It went in a different direction (so far) fortunately.

Hurricane force winds is not unreasonable.
What passes for journalism these days is pathetic.
