Yosemite fire swallowing everything in its path

Haha, seriosuly. And you have ban immunity, so have at it.

Wasnt there a thread on here some time ago with someone claiming to know that huge and dangerous fires like this one was going to be started on purpose...Have no idea how long ago or the title but....

Cryptic Mole posted about it here and on that other forum. Said it would be this summer. Firestorms that would enter the cities.

Yosemite fire has burned 210 square miles; among state's worst

GROVELAND, Calif. — The Rim fire continued to grow overnight, burning 133,000 acres in and around Yosemite National Park, officials said Sunday.

The blaze — the 15th largest in California history — has burned 210 square miles and is now 7% contained, according to Cal Fire.

Officials said they continued to deal with dry conditions and winds that have helped the fire spread so quickly.

Getting to the fire has proven difficult for firefighters.

"Direct attack is being used in some areas of the fire and more will be utilized as firefighters gain safe access," according to Inciweb, a fire Web service. "In other areas of the fire where extremely steep, rugged and inaccessible terrain exists, fire crews are using a tactic called indirect attack, which creates control lines away from the fire's active edge."

The fast-moving blaze marched powerfully through pristine wilderness all of last week, doubling in size since Thursday, forcing evacuations, shutting down the main highway to the famed national park and damaging the Hetch Hetchy reservoir's water and power system.

More than 2,600 firefighters battled the blaze Saturday. Although they were assisted by trench-digging bulldozers and water-dropping aircraft, their efforts had little effect. The Rim fire, which began eight days ago in a remote canyon of the Stanislaus National Forest, was just 5% contained.

"This fire is burning unlike anything we've seen in this area historically," said Ashley Taylor, a U.S. Forest Service spokeswoman.

More than 1,800 firefighters were sent to Tuolumne City at the northwestern edge of the fire to protect the community's 1,600 homes. "Our priority is Tuolumne right now. It's in the line of fire," said another fire official.

Aside from the hot, dry weather and the rugged and hard-to-reach terrain, another difficulty was the blaze's tendency to burn the tops of trees, creating a "crown fire" with long, intense flames that skip across forested land faster than a wildfire that creeps along near the ground.

I feel bad for the people's homes who built moved there

But these have been happening since time began people are just living in these areas now

It seems to be lead story on all news networks there are a lot of other stories that need covering that are affecting everyone

You have a good point, I agree with you. As tragic as fires like this are, there are more important things happening. Now if it starts actually burning down whole cities, that will certainly be news worthy doom.

Obama's Democrat Plantation voters would use the shovel to beat their neighbors, then loot the houses which had been evacuated.

New update.

itis the methane

there might start to be explosions

these kinds of fires are ridiculous.

these ignorant morons need to start cutting 1 mile wide fire-breaks
all around the country.

sheeeeesh.

.

There was something about a muslime bit of literature calling for setting fires in the wilderness.

Last time I checked it's still about trees, because San Francisco residents are a bunch of tree huggers.

The last time God got really pissed at the Sodomites living in the City with Seven Hills, this is what happened:

Something along lines of God passing judgement on the 7 deadly sins wicked lifestyles practiced in Frisco ... we'll see.

Perhaps not dissimilar from the judgement that was delivered on New Orleans with Katrina.

A wise man once said, "Nobody owes you a damn thing."

That's the problem, and my point. Calm down.

swallows everything but my cock load. :)

So what, use the limited equipment to make a path for the forest critters running away and let it burn. Won't be a fire hazard again for 100years or more. With conservative forestry practices it could even be industrial as well as a tourist attraction.

"The seas, lakes and oceans are now pluming deadly hydrogen sulfide and suffocating methane. Hydrogen sulfide is a highly toxic water-soluble heavier-than-air gas and will accumulate in low-lying areas. Methane is slightly more buoyant than normal air and so will be all around, but will tend to contaminate our atmosphere from the top down. These gases are sickening and killing oxygen-using life all around the world, including human life, as our atmosphere is increasingly poisoned. Because both gases are highly flammable and because our entire civilization is built around fire and flammable fuels, this is leading to more fires and explosions. This is an extinction level event and will likely decimate both the biosphere and human population and it is debatable whether humankind can survive this event.



A. More fires and more explosions, especially along the coasts, but everywhere generally.
B. Many more animal die-offs, of all kinds, and especially oceanic species.
C. More multiples of people will be found dead in their homes, as if they'd dropped dead.
D. More corpses found in low-lying areas, all over the world.
E. More unusual vehicular accidents.
F. Improved unemployment numbers as people die off.


...

Note: Hydrogen sulfide is a heavier-than-air gas and will seek out low-lying areas like underground facilities, basements, lakes, ponds, streams, canyons, valleys, ditches, etc. It is also reactive with copper, especially electrified copper, like that used in electrical infrastructure, wiring in vehicles, doorbell wires, lighting fixture wiring on porches, etc. There have been many underground explosions and fires this past year or so and this problem looks certain to worsen...

How did we get from wild fires to H2S and methane gas plumes?

animals usually detect the smoke pretty fast, if a few slow ones didnt... natural selection. more importantly we can all hope that furries did get caught in the fire. furries/furry creatures 2 totally different things.

Methane

Watch out for explosions

so much for the BUNKERS

With respect, I'm not certain if you realize this, but San Francisco is filled with good, hard-working and decent people who are just trying to survive, to take care of themselves and their loved ones, and to make good use of their lives -- just like other people in every other city across the U.S. On a typical day, in San Francisco, you see business men & women going to work...families riding bicycles and playing in parks and along the piers...people chatting over coffee and running errands...again, just like everywhere else.

In other words, there are many groups (with questionable agendas) that unfairly demonize all of the inhabitants of San Francisco, when, in fact, it really is no different (in general) than any other city that one would visit or inhabit, in this country.

In addition, there have been fires raging across all of California and Arizona (as well as Oregon, Idaho, and other states), and those who have been affected the worst are the innocent wildlife and many, many people of limited financial means who have lost their homes, pets and/or all of their material possessions. If it is a "God" figure that is doing this, than why is that deity punishing these beings, who are so undeserving of it? They are not "sinful" -- they are simply trying to live their lives as best as they are able.

I don't wish to turn this into a religious debate, at all - I just thought that that needed to be said by someone. There are fires raging across a large portion of the country, right now - some sparked by lightning, others started by humans, and others started by unknown means - so it seems odd to suggest that this specific tragic fire would be intentionally created by an invisible deity merely to torment and punish innocents.

That said...My heart goes to all who are affected by these fires. Stay safe, everyone

Praying for the victims.

Ezekiel 7:19-21
New King James Version (NKJV)

Ezekiel 7:19-21
King James Version (KJV)

19 They shall cast their silver in the streets, and their gold shall be removed: their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the Lord: they shall not satisfy their souls, neither fill their bowels: because it is the stumblingblock of their iniquity.

20 As for the beauty of his ornament, he set it in majesty: but they made the images of their abominations and of their detestable things therein: therefore have I set it far from them.

21 And I will give it into the hands of the strangers for a prey, and to the wicked of the earth for a spoil; and they shall pollute it.

Lol, yes, ~~~~THIS~~~~~

Whenever there's lots of big fires out west, it rains a lot here in Florida.
