got a few documents and heirlooms in the van and am waiting to see flames cresting the ridge and then I’m loading up the dogs and cats and getting the fuck outta here
pieces of charcoal have been falling from the sky since 3 pm
it comes for some of us before others
as you are now so once was i
as i am now so you shall be
enter the anthropocene and follow me
update: i loaded up the dogs and cats and got the fuck outta there, we’ll see in the morning if the farm’s still there
update2: farm’s still there, fingers crossed pray 4 me
You’d be amazed at how close it can get, have known a few people that were within a mile that had their homes spared. Hope it works out.
fuck, stay safe comrade
go early. too many people die here in australia because they misjudge the speed of the firefront or think they can defend. i’m not trying to scare you, but leave earlier than you think you need.
let us know if there’s anything anyone here can do
Stay safe comrade and do not hesitate to use the mutual aid comm. That fucking sucks.
I’m sorry to hear this is happening. Keep us posted, and stay safe! Also if you need anything don’t hesitate to let people know.
At the risk of being a dick, do you have all the animals kenneled up already? They can get really squirrely when they realize somethings wrong and it can take time to find them again.
Regardless, I hope this misses you.
I’m so sorry, there are wildfires everywhere in my state right now. I hope you’re gone and safe but if you happen to have a sprinkler system, I’ve heard turning it on before you leave may help with fire abatement. Who knows it thats true or not, but may as well try it.
I’m so sorry. I was just talking to my wife about this, and what our options were for preparedness. Climate change is basically a lottery now, where if your number is chosen you lose everything, and the longer time passes the worse the odds get.
glad to hear you and the animals are safe at least, really sorry you’re in this situation comrade
Stay safe comrade. My province is on fire as well and I have family on evacuation alert. It’s terrifying to be faced with this level of devastation.
One depressing thing about you mentioning your province being on fire is that it doesn’t give anything away on your location.
Thoughts and Prayers, but for real. As someone that narrowly escaped natural disasters several times, lets hope it doesn’t reach your place!
keep us posted, stay safe, hope it turns out OK
Goddamn, take care comrade.
I remember when I evacuated from my suburban home near LA in 2018 we could see the glow of the fire on the other side of the hill just up the street from our house
Stay safe comrade
Fuck. Stay safe.
