tamarack Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 I've thought a disaster novel called, "Fire Storm" would be a good write/read... The story takes place in New England, after the travails of a highly unusual dry summer... Severe drought style, after a just an average uptake winter allowed for heavy spring growth. Foliage is lush early, but tinder by mid August. Even in-tree, not just brush and sere deadened undergrowth, either... So bad that pine needles in evergreens start to look more and more ever tan. Then a wayward high based CB pulses a Zeusian lightning charge into a the canopy of the equally challenged boreal forest up in Ontario along a cold front. Behind which... gusty winds purports additional low RH air, that otherwise would have been the season's first cool shot. The front comes down and as it passes the sky turns a dullard pal, the sun a barely discernible orb...then quite dusky ...at 1 pm. The air starts to feel eerily warmer and warmer as the light dims, as the smells are umistakable; then the sounds of winds through trees is offset by a wall of orange Hades. It's all over the news to take cover - had been for hours. The EMS had interrupted broadcasts and civil instructions tickered and or warned -- but what could anyone do... It blasts through even down through the thoroughfares of ...interior wooded township communities. Like a giant arcing Derecho of fire... Your novel might already be out there, though it's history rather than fiction. Look for "The Week Maine Burned", which recounts the fires of October 1947. Check out the PWM temps for the peak-burn days, and they had received no measurable precip yet that month. That 10/23 max is the warmest PWM has ever recorded that late in the year. 10/22....70....37 10/23....83....35 10/24....59....26 10/25....65....20 Over 200,000 acres with 15 fatalities, wiped out the town centers at Newfield and East Brownfield, and only a sudden shift in wind direction saved downtown BHB. The big runs at Newfield and Mt. Desert Island came with the dry CF on 10/24, while the Kennebunkport fire was a couple days earlier. Not lightning caused, however, but untended late fall cleanup fires plus gusts 50+ with the CF, and strong SW winds for the earlier blaze, which was stopped by the Atlantic (though it torched an island more than half a mile offshore.)

eekuasepinniW Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 cluster**** there right now. lol It's amazing how bad the drainage issues are down there. Duval street isn't even the worst of it. Some parts will have streets totally underwater at high tide during periods of prolonged north wind. It's creepy... the water just flows up from the storm drains.

I used to do some camping in the Sebago Lake area and definitely concur with Bray's. If you want to play some golf, I like both Naples CC and Point Sebago. I love that area, in fact my son was born 9 months after one of our visits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
