Victoria is on fire, bigtime...

Yep that's freakin' huge, I think the big one we had this last summer was 40 miles across, and that was national news.

Hey, is it messing with your guy's weather? Here the fires weren't all that close to where I live, but we were getting funky little misty rains. I guess all the heat from the fire causes condensation in surrounding areas.

Yes it is. The fires are so large that they create their own winds....

on the days we're smoked out the temperature is much lower due to the smoke blocking out the sunlight.

it's also fucking with people's health, wednesday my eyes were a bit stingy and i couldn't stop coughing. now i got some ugly chest bug.

Dang you know what sucks is the US news does not have much about the fire you can find out a ton about Britney Spears and her not wearing underware but no real news.

Sorry you guys are going through so much there are people in the US that are worried!

Damn, that radar picture of the smoke is crazy. You'd think 134 miles of fire would not be possible due to it burning so much fuel. I hope they somehow get it under control.
