"Smoky Skies in the Pacific Northwest" by #NASA Earth Observatory - Sept 13 satellite imagery shows fires and smoke across Washington, Idaho, Montana and British Columbia. Besides unhealthy particulates in smoky air, study has shown effects of fires include effects on water quality and less-restrained runoff in burned areas. https://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/images/154797/smoky-skies-in-the-pacific-northwest #WAfire #WAwx #IDfire #IDwx #MTfire #MTwx #BCfire #BCwx #weather #PNW

@emergencyinfobc_bot No paywall. One of the key findings:

"Fire entered neighbourhoods almost exclusively via embers, rather than direct flame contact, quickly shifting from a wildfire to several urban fires burning simultaneously."

This tells me it is crucial to evacuate *before* embers arrive in your neighborhood. If you wait until embers are falling then fires may have started along your escape route.

While we think about #Jasper, Slocan Valley is facing similar dangers. The fire jumped Slocan Lake from Valhallas Provincial Park and is now just north of New Denver.

Silverton has been evacuated and a friend of mine has bags packed watching the flames on three sides of her.

This is her photo.
