Our province is burning down! We had a very dry spring, and now the weather has turned incredibly hot. There are over 300 fires burning right now, 14,000 evacuated, complete towns, others threatened, two airports burned, major road closures, including the TransCanada and the main road to northern BC.
I am not personally threatened by the fires. We live on the edge of a city that had a bad forest fire in 2003. Not much left to burn, including the dead fall, which is gone.
But I am terribly allergic to smoke, and I woke up with a bad asthma attack this morning, I've been resisting the ER. I am taking my asthma drugs every 3 hours and prednisone. Feeling not good, O2 is very low.
Pray for rain. It is not in the forecast, just high 90's F or 30's C. We need a lot of rain, but no lightening. That is what started a lot of the fires, besides people throwing cigarette butts on the ground.
Thanks!
Last year it was Fort McMurray and this year it is us again!
