Weather WTF

[merithyn]

I can breath again. Winds have shifted toward the east, and the smoke has most dissipated from around here.

Still only 5% contained, and over 30,000 acres destroyed.

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) - Officials say another two homes were destroyed in the Columbia River Gorge wildfire, but the blaze barely grew overnight and firefighters established some containment lines.
 
Lt. Damon Simmons of the Oregon State Fire Marshal's office said Thursday the homes are in the same area where one previously burned. Simmons said he does not know if people lived in them.
 
The fire has scorched 52 square miles (33,000 acres) and is 5 percent contained. Evacuation levels remain unchanged.
 
Temperatures have cooled and Simmons says firefighters should make good progress if the weather cooperates.
 
Meanwhile, Multnomah County Sheriff Mike Reese says deputies arrested a 23-year-old man on charges of theft by deception and a parole violation. Reese says Cody Cunningham tried to obtain clothing from a firefighting crew. Reese says he does not know Cunningham's intentions, but "certainly they were not good."

60 goddamned magnificent degrees out. Right now.

Man, if it takes a few hurricanes to get this kind of weather, well...on behalf of a grateful nation and all that, Texas and Florida.

Supposed to stay in the 70's for the next week here. If we can skip the September mugginess, I'd be pleased.

We got the same, problem is it's both day and night and 15 degrees at night is too goddamn much

Limbaugh said the models were all BS

He should know, he's on the radio.

Whatever else you say about Rush, he is a world leading expert on BS.

A colleague bought a house on one of those waterways in Cape Coral recently. I hope he got good insurance...

That is where I went to high school (well fort myers). Why the fuck would he buy a house there? It would be a blessing for him to have it destroyed by the hurricane.

I'm sure this isn't a metaphor for anything.

I hear golfing overtook fiddling some time ago.

Kickass!  The Hurricane will just stop about 50 miles from house!

Kickass!  The Hurricane Depression will just stop about 50 miles from house!

Corrected that for you, and hopefully this is what happens.
