[quote:Anonymous Coward 80683328:MV80ODcxNzg3Xzg4OTczNTY2X0VCNUU2QkQ2] Better get your smart meter off your house before it arrives. This is how they burn houses flat including metal and porcelain. Frequency plus electricity equals catastrophic fire. This is all planned. Pleased to meet you. Hope you guess my name. [/quote]

The White Rock Lake Fire moves toward Vernon BC (pop 55,000) at 5 km an hour. I live in this area and thought people needed to be aware of what is happening right now. A fire started over a week ago near White Rock Lake and it has already burned out a small town. It is over 55,000 hectares now which is well ver 100,000 acres. It came up over the last mountain range last night and is now on the shores of the North east side of Okanagan Lake.
It was raining ash at my place and the sky in Vernon last night was ominous and looked like the opening salvos of the apocalypse. We have had no rain all spring and summer and I feel this is going to get really bad. This is a naturally dry region in summer, so good rains are likely still weeks away.
Of course our useless media (CBC especially) are doing a terrible job reporting this on-line. They are too busy blowing their Covid stranger danger trumpets, to have the common sense to focus on the real tragedy lurking in our neighbourhoods. The internet is full of useless old data and it is almost impossible for a person living in this area to fully understand the real situation. This event makes me want to defund the CBC all that more. Even the government web sites have limited updates and you have to read four day material. Castanet is the only local media outlet that is at least trying to get this story out to locals with proper updates.
Before the conspiracy fools start saying it is directed weapons etc, please know this fire did not start that way. There is a perfect storm coming and the forests are bone dry. There are over 300 fires burning in the province right now. This one is not the largest, but it is a monster and you could see it creeping over the mountains last night. The lake is wide in that area, but empress are traveling across the lake so it may get much worse. Most of Vernon is on evaluation alert which means an enormous amount of people may have to evacuate in the next day or so.
