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.

Oregon’s Bootleg Fire, amplified by a historic draught...

Draught. MMMMmmm.

[cowboyusa]

Seeing it here in Philly.

[Empire_of_Liberty]

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.

[BenLurkin]

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

[metmom]

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).

They lost all credibility when they said that the fires spawn hurricanes.

No.

Just no.

[TLI]

that can spur their own hurricanes,

Hurricanes?

Sounds like the author had one too many "draughts."

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.

Yeah but we saved the spotted owl. Har Har

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

[Kenny500c]

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?

[crz]

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!™

[lurk]

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.
