Fire officials say an Oregon wildfire in the scenic Columbia River Gorge has grown to nearly 16 square miles and is threatening homes. Residents of about 400 homes have been forced to evacuate, while others have been warned to get ready.( Mark Graves/The Oregonian
For perspective of peoples smoke haze view.... the smoky view of the Eagle Creek fire from North Bonneville Dam and Beacon Rock in the Columbia River Gorge on Tuesday, Sept. 5, 2017
Reminds me of ‘the day’ when things like this will occur...and not by mans hands....these are just a very tiny, minute sampling.
Dreadful-——these fires would terrify me if I lived in the area.
Breathing problems must be brutal.
.
Yep..it’s across the nation now....
These haven’t been making the news very much at all here in the East....so glad for this thread to post photos as they tell the story and keep us all informed....
Ash and smoke from fires obscure the sun
I’m in MA and I really thought he was joking when he mentioned the haze in Denver———obviously I was very wrong.
Here it’s all about hurricanes and virtually nothing about the fires.

Officials and residents of 'Waterton Lakes National
Park' are on high alert as a growing wildfire
threatens to spread east across the Continental Divide.
"Significant threat....voluntary 'evacuation alert issued'... 
"There was a book a I read recently where forest fires were set by terrorist cells all across the American west."
A couple of years ago on Threat Matrix, a freeper posted an article stating terrorist cells (muzzies) planned to “burn down the West.

Yup...
someone mentioned it to me last night being all over their car, I said What??? then this morning, I wake up and go on my porch and it’s getting covered with ash!
God bless, protect, and give enormous endurance to these hero's and brave men who literally go into the fire!...walk for miles and carry the weight of it all on their shoulders!
Thanks Lucy....I do wonder about all these fires...
Muslims are saying this is the earth crying out against the US for the Muslim blood shed by us.

I was thinking about that post of a couple of years ago earlier this evening in relation to something I was about to send to an associate in Oregon. I remember the article as cogent.
I see now, thanks for the background.
More crap.
