Yeah. They’re trying to fight them too. I say let them go and burn hot like they naturally would. Finish off all of that dry, dead wood and stop the smoldering.
Yeah I believe it. I haven’t looked into the origins of these. And I’m not insinuating arson…just the ol’ “oopsy I thought I had it out” deal. I won’t claim to be an expert on this. Maybe I’m totally full of shit.
Polar vortexes and heat domes happen every year. But they came and went and we went on with our lives. Now everything is hyped and made out to be a huge deal. It’s a little hazy and smelly but it’s 5-7 mile vis in the worst spots. More annoying than impactful.
I think it’s more hyped. But I think there’s more fires being started by people too…not necessarily because of social media. Just more people and more people getting out into the outdoors and not listening to Smokey the Bear.
Social media magnifies everything now. There’s probably an uptick with more people hiking and camping out there and starting more fires. Summer 02 had a real smoke day with low ceilings and vis down to 1-2sm.
It’s nice weather, but I’d want it a little warmer for the pool, lake, or beach.
Today we smoke. Gotta get that cleaner air from NYC and Philly up here.
