where have all the trees gone?

For those not paying attention to news in the Northwest USA: We're burning down.

This map depicts the fires that started between roughly 5pm 8/15 and 5pm 8/16.


A number of friends and family are fearfully and prayerfully watching the flames come closer to their homes. Some have already lost everything (nobody I know, yet) One friend posted somebody she knew lost everything - House, barn, almost all their animals, their gardens, their bees (25 hives)... everything. They had to grab what they crossed as they ran for their vehicles and no time to round up critters. At least that's my understanding. My friend said they had 11 Firefighters, total, fighting their fires as that was all they had available. A photo from that fire (Stickpin Fire)


My sister has ash raining down at her property and posted pics two days ago of chunks as big as her hand. The fire is 10 miles away from my sisters place so not imminent danger. I just read that their fire grew from 10,000 to 20,000 acres overnight.

Our skies were orange yesterday and it was very creepy from all the smoke and dust in the air...

Between Oregon, Washington State, North Idaho and Montana...

We're not going to have any trees or wildlife left if this doesn't stop soon.

Please pray for rain (or think rainy thoughts or whatever). Those of you in parts of the country with too much rain and flooding: Feel free to send some our way

AB: I hope you're doing okay over there I'm guessing you're highly smoked out at best.

Firefighters, paid or voluntary:

It's been continuous on the news here in Seattle area. I even helped fill the fireman's boot today (local fire fighters were out at a major intersection)
I remember the fires in San Diego when ever the Santa Annas would blow- red sky, falling ash, smoky air, stinging eyes.

There is a fire retardant foam that some used and was quite effective. They would spray the whole house with it before evacuating and even dried was good enough to keep the house from burning where all the non- treated neighboring houses burned.

Stay safe, and try not to breathe too much smoke.

Doing ok now. Last Friday was the worst for us. A fire storm came through south of town and took out a complex of our storage and packing facilities. We were told to get out of the building at around 3pm. Lost power ... tv ... land line and cell phones ... and internet around 5pm in town. Power didn't come back until early Sunday morning. Had to drive all the way to Moses Lake on Saturday to find a generator to keep the fridge running. Wenatchee was cleaned out.

This was a lesson in preparedness and how unprepared I was when I thought I was. That won't happen again.

My daughter is up there in your neck of the woods going to college and she has said some of the very same things about how smokey and hazy everything is there. It is sad that so much of our country's natural beauty is going through this kind of devastation, but we are lucky to have so many brave men and women that are willing to risk their lives to do their best to keep those around the fires as safe as possible.
