There are massive fires
Fires are probably there but way smaller. Plus things have burned other ways. Fire survivors like to exaggerate numbers to make the whole thing seem bigger and worse than it really was so they can take focus from other victims.

Most of the fires are probably altocumulus formations not the 6 million acres commonly cited.

Divide and Conquer is as old as time and it is hitting us from even more angles than normal right now
I'm having a particularly hard time with this.
Today I went to deliver something to an acquaintance, we start talking about "happenings".
I told him I've seen dozens of videos of white people mobbed and attacked.
"Where'd you see that?"
Twitter
He starts laughing.
"Man, you can't get your news from social media!"
Mf'r what?
I don't get "news" , you stupid, pasty white 4-eyed, skinny, frail, never- been outside- your- home, never been to the hood, never been to jail, never been arrested, never been in a ride-along, never been there for yourself masters-degree-having, CNN-watching libtard!


And it mulls at me, over and over in silence.

This is cold war agitation.
Populations will look back at this, art of war.

We got the smoke up here in Vancouver BC today. Not the orangey apocalyptic haze of two years ago yet, but it has started.

Oregon officials brace for “mass fatality incident” as 36-mile-wide wall of flames threatens Portland
Officials in Oregon have issued a warning that they are preparing for a "mass fatality incident,” with over 1 million acres being consumed by the flames.




As much of the west coast remains mired in smoke and raging fires, officials in Oregon have issued a stark warning that they are preparing for amass fatality incident, with over 1 million acres being consumed by the flames as well as at least seven confirmed deaths and dozens missing during this week’s wildfires,

Potentially thousands of homes may have been wiped out while at least half a dozen homes were decimated when walls of fires consumed the region.

And as 36-mile-wide line of flames edged into the towns around Portland, encroaching closer on the major city, Portland’s mayor has declared a state of emergency as the unfolding disaster worsens.

Earlier Friday, Gov. Kate Brown said that over 1 million acres had gone up in flames across Oregon. The number is about twice the yearly average over the past decade, according to The Oregonian.

Upwards of half a million people, or 12 percent of the state’s population, are under some kind of evacuation warning or order while about 40,000 have been subject to mandatory evacuation due to what the governor warned was a “once-in-a-generation event.”
