Canadian wild fires

Just drove through Waterbury/Hartford Connecticut @4pm. The smoke was very visible and you could smell it. Up in Fitchburg, Ma @7pm it's not so visible. Strange...

My brother took this picture today from Cortland County, NY about halfway between Binghamton and Syracuse

My daughter is in Milford, PA and it's hazy there with the smoke as well.

Orange dots are current wildfires

There is a video from space, cant find it right now, that shows the smoke plumes from across the province.

The strange thing is... it shows them all start at the same time. Wtf? I hope one of yall can find it.



Nvm, found it.

it is hard to see, but there is a mountain that is obscurer by the smoke in the second picture. It is right above the tree lines.

Came in here to post that. Seems the worlds figured out that suspicion without proof means nothing. So many questionable things being shoved in our faces these days.
 
Got smokier here as the day progressed. Can’t see Grandfather Mountain from Granite Falls.
 
please delete this if deemed a "hijack"....

after reading several SHTF fiction books, i noticed that smoke is not a major factor (except The Road).
if the landscape is obscured by Canadian smoke, imagine what multiple local fires would do.
no solar power would function, face masks and goggles all the time, ash clogging air intakes, etc.
might not need a scope on a rifle because dense smoke would hide anything beyond 70 yards....
until the eventual rain turns the ash into corrosive mud.

For those possibly wondering, here is the corporate MSM "explanation":

How did the Canadian wildfires start? A look at what's driving the fires that covered the East Coast in smoke

Canada is on track to have its most destructive wildfire season in history — and climate change has set the stage.
www.cbsnews.com www.cbsnews.com

How did the fires in Canada start?​

Dry, hot weather also breeds more lightning. In a normal season, half of Canada's wildfires are started by lightning, but those fires account for more than 85% of wildfire destruction. The other half are human-caused.

In Quebec, for example, fires were sparked by lightning, but officials in Alberta have said that the cause of fires there is currently unknown. Elsewhere in the country, these fires have been human-caused in various ways from discarded cigarette butts to sparks from passing trains.

Lightning is typically a major cause of wildfires and does offer a plausible explanation on how multiple fires can start nearly simultaneously across a large area. Also, Canada has been experiencing atypical hot & dry conditions this Spring.

I recall seeing a story about a planned "controlled burn" in Banff, Alberta that did not go as planned in early May 2023, but I think they got that one wrangled in.


Wildfires are part of Nature, it's Man's poor forest management plans that often make them MUCH worse than they would be. The semi-recent (past 5 years) major wildfires in California are a prime example:

California: Let’s Stop Making Wildfire History

Fires in California continue to set new records for the “largest,” “most damaging,” “worst air quality” and “most costly” we’ve ever seen.

Just went to the store in Siler City. You could certainly smell something different in the air.
 
Didn't the Canuckistan Blackface-in-Chief ban most controlled burns in Canadia? OOPS

BTW it isn't abnormally dry in Canada at this time...someone had to work to start all those fires at once.
 
It looked a little hazy in fayetteville yesterday, but something is always on fire around town.
Today it was unmistakably hazy and my wife wouldn't stop mentioning it.
 
I wondered what would happen if an organized terrorist cell visited several national parks and placed optical lens on a stick so when the sun was at the right position they would start massive forest fires. We couldn't put them all out.
 
Morehead city was very hazy yesterday. Haven't been out today...
 
Hazy in Charlotte. Someone posted a photo and you could just barely make out the skyline. I'm hoping that's what's making my sinuses act up, and that I'm not getting another sinus infection!

I was in Upstate NY a few week’s ago. Not that hot. Quebec is a little farther North and a little East. Probably was not that hot. Wonder how 100 fires started at the same time. Some strange lightning they have up there I guess. 😏
 
referring back to my post above:

All the smoke produced more pollution then ten million car exhaust. Charge that EV in the fire zone. Climate change my butt.
