🚨A worst case scenario may be unfolding west of Spokane as an out-of-control wildfire rages in strong winds which has led to extremely fast growth with over 100 acres burned in just ~50 minutes! Multiple Level 3 GO NOW evacuation orders have been issued.
Last night in Los Angeles a severe meth addict went to somebody’s house and asked if they could come inside. They declined, and later that day, the addict broke into their backyard, and ripped the dog’s stomach open with a razor blade.
EXTREMELY CRITICIAL FIRE WEATHER TODAY ACROSS PARTS OF PACIFIC NORTHWEST!
A dry cold front crossing the Pacific Northwest will trigger dangerous fire weather across central/southeastern Washington and northern Oregon. Sustained westerly winds of 30+ mph with gusts of 40-50+ mph will overlap with humidity levels plunging below 15%. Hazardous winds could last up to 6 hours, with elevated winds forecast for 12-14 hours.
ERC (Energy Release Component) values, which is a metric that estimates the available thermal energy released per square foot at the flaming front of a wildfire, will approach or exceed the 95th percentile. What this means is that fuel dryness is near historic, record-breaking levels for the region. Because the vegetation is so dried out, any fire that ignites will burn with extreme intensity, and at heat levels that will make it even more dangerous and difficult for ground crews to address.
Please avoid outdoor burning at all costs if you are in either the red or the pink areas today!!!
I saw this from Steven’s County Fire District No. 1:
“The National Weather Service has issued a Red Flag Warning for Saturday, August 1, 2pm to 8pm. This due to EXTREME fire weather incoming, including high winds (steady in the 20's with gusts to 50) and low RH values (12-18%). Some areas around us were issued a "PDS" alert indicating a "Particularly Dangerous Situation."
New fire starts will run and grow rapidly with existing fires exhibiting even more active fire behavior than they are experiencing now.
Almost anything can be an ignition source during these volatile events.
Avista has put out Public Safety Power Shutoff warnings (nothing imminent yet).
Both ⚠️Avista and Inland Power are in their highest levels of safety⚠️, meaning if the power drops unexpectedly, it could take longer to restore power as lines and feeders will need to be examined by their crews in person.
Firefighting resources are already spread thin due to the many large fires throughout the state. Saturday's weather could also preclude certain (or all) firefighting aircraft from flying at certain points throughout the day.
Fire District 1 is putting on extra staffing in preparation for this weather event.”
HUGE increase to the Extremely Critical risk area for Saturday. It now includes almost all of Eastern WA and a good portion of NE OR. Extremely dangerous fire weather conditions are likely in this region, with winds up to 50 mph and humidity down to 15%. #wawx#orwx
#Seattle is luckily about to dodge a massive and intense heat dome that is about to cover much of the rest of the West with 100+ to even 110+ degree heat.
Here, we'll be in the 70s. But it comes at a potential great cost for Eastern Washington:

We’re urging you to exercise the highest level of caution this weekend as the National Weather Service has issued a Particularly Dangerous Situation Red Flag Warning for Saturday afternoon and evening across central and eastern Washington. #wawx
Anthony Smith’s wife makes a statement regarding his arrest
“I love Anthony with every ounce of my being! He is a good man, a great dad, and an incredible husband who loves us endlessly. Anyone that knows him can attest to that.
They made a mental health struggle into something it wasn't. I am safe and always was safe. He would never hurt me. Ever. I called for help to protect him from himself”
😅 Usman Nurmagomedov says Jake Paul isn't a real fighter and doesn’t hold back when giving his take on the influencer turned pro-boxer.
“The thing with Jake Paul is… he talks too much, he isn’t a real fighter.
If you guys want to watch legit fighters, come to my gym and see them there.”

Bill Maher shuts down Scott Galloway on the spot after he says “everyone should be” on a GLP-1 “within 24 months.”
GALLOWAY: “Every time we find out something new about GLP-1, it's a positive. They're now saying that it reduces the likelihood of stage one cancer going to metastatic cancer... by 50%. Every time we keep waiting for another shoe to drop, we find out, ‘Oh, it's actually a good thing.’ Everyone at this table is going to be on a GLP-1 within 24 months.”
MAHER: “No, not everyone at this table!"
ERIN BROCKOVICH: “No.” [Shakes head]
GALLOWAY: “Everyone should be.”
MAHER: “Well, it’s not been around long enough, I don't think.”
GALLOWAY: “It's FDA approved. I trust our agency.”
MAHER: “Oh, and when did they ever lie?! When did they ever get one wrong?”
GALLOWAY: “Fair enough. I set myself up for that one. I think when you look at the studies around the upside versus the downside here, it's the most transformative technology in the world.”
MAHER: “It is very transformative. It also saps — they have found — people's drive. I mean your drive to eat, but also like your drive to work. Companies don't like it because that kind of like eye of the tiger... goes away in a lot of people when they take this.”
GALLOWAY: “Well, the fear is it doesn't want to make you eat less, it just makes you want less. That's the fear. Right?"
MAHER: "I don't want to want less!”
GALLOWAY: “Fair enough.”
MAHER: “I can control my eating without a drug!”
GALLOWAY: “I think you're blessed with genetics that make it easy for you, and you have the money to eat well.”
MAHER: “Okay. But I've showed this picture before of people like in 1969... There's no fat people in the crowd. And trust me, cake was delicious in 1969. Somehow they controlled it.”
Bill Maher: “I would vote for Sarah Palin before this shit!”
“Gavin Newsom... says he’s good with [democratic socialists] because the party is a ‘big tent.’ Well, you know what else you find in a tent? CLOWNS.”
“It's so funny. So many liberals shit themselves every time Trump puts gold on something in the Oval Office.”
[Mocking] “Oh, it’s historic!”
“And the separation of powers isn’t? Get your head out of your ass.”
“I would vote for Sarah Palin before this shit!”
