@MrMatthewTodd Think positive! AI will kill us all soon, so then it'll just be the robots' problem? 😅

@KSeattleWeather It was very pleasant over here on the east side—barely reached 100. Though some days it was clear that the smoke helped with that, cooling it down just a little. The cool summer didn't seem to help the fire season at all🫤

@JoshuaBarzon My state is WRONG. Try Mt Rainier or something.

@SeattleWXGuy That Multnomah falls fire didn't even start until September. 🫤

[katie @eilonwy77]

@SeattleWXGuy ... lightning starts fires. I've watched it happen over and over. No, it isn't space lasers. But EVEN IF IT WAS SPACE LASERS, the fires wouldn't be so bad if the conditions weren't so dry.....

Ahem. Pardon my outburst. 😅

[katie @eilonwy77]

@SeattleWXGuy And there wasn't any snow? It's so not right. So the plants are too dry for too long. Of course they're going to burn. It really doesn't even matter the cause. The arson wouldn't be successful if the conditions weren't so dry. And YES, we get lightning. And YES...

[The Hotshot Wake Up @HotshotWake]

Video from Anna Johnston in Spokane, Washington shows traffic jammed up as residents continue to evacuate due to the Old Trails Fire. The fire continues to spot and grow due to very strong winds.

The Dwight Merkel outdoor Sports complex that was full for Saturday activities has been forced to evacuate. Evacuations now run as far north as Rutter Parkway. This is a wildland urban interface nightmare. The fire is over 2,000 acres.

@MaxVelocityWX They're activating the National Guard in advance. So unusual for us.

[katie @eilonwy77]

@MaxVelocityWX This is my first ever "Particularly Dangerous Situation" warning. I never knew what those were until I started watching you. Normally SE Washington St is super safe and boring, weather-wise, so I have to enjoy exciting weather by living vicariously through your stream.

@96f20P_JRoToole @carolancanuck July 16 lightning.

[katie @eilonwy77]

@96f20P_JRoToole @carolancanuck I read it. And posted a screenshot of lightning to show how we do, in fact, get lightning over here on the east side. I can look up more. I take a lot of screenshots of lightning.

[katie @eilonwy77]

@carolancanuck @96f20P_JRoToole For instance, here is a screenshot I took of lightning on July 15.

@WeatherProf As someone who lives under the smoke.... It feels dim and dark like winter.

@SkylarSkye3 No? You're up there, but Canada is my dear neighbor, Mexico gave my town so much culture, Ireland is the home of my ancestors, France is our 1st friend and the place of my honeymoon. I feel like you're asking a parent which of their kids is the favorite. It smacks of insecurity?

@US_Stormwatch I see it in the sky above my head....
