Residents strolled through the smoldering rubble of their neighborhoods, some wearing surgical masks to protect their lungs from the smoke and ash lingering in the air of the riverside community they call "Paterodise."

You are way out of line.

These people in Eastern Washington are as Conservative as you can get. Watch how they are taking care of themselves and each other even now.

They are outnumbered by liberals in the Seattle area.

Oops. Yes, you have it exactly. Nineteen miles on a side as a way to visual it. That’s a lot of damage.

Reminder why people used to only build real homes in large clearings.

Wearing surgical masks...
I’m on standby to help my brother in law evacuate his place in central oregon at one of those fires. Reminds me to throw in my carbon filter masks.

Pateros didn’t vote for Oblahblah. It’s in E. Washington. Very conservative area.

OK. I assume you were on the coast, doing shipping and all.

You would love the people east of the Cascades, and they would love you.

Houses in large clearings ...

I am realizing that many times houses are ignited not by sparks or embers, but by radiant heat. The fire, from a distance and not in immediate contact, will ignite the house, or even furnishings/curtains inside the house through the windows. EEK.

Still, a clearing will help keep the fire at a distance. Poor little rodents; no underbrush for you to immigrate to.

The helplessness of people when up against the power of nature is proven again and again. It makes me wonder where we sometimes go wrong it letting politics dominate our lives.

A few years back the home I built in Lake Tahoe burned to the ground along with 230 others. Much of the problem was lack of forest maintenance, abundant ground fuel not being cleaned up and prohibition against greening around the homes to create firebreaks. These changes all came about along with an influx of liberals moving into our valley along the upper Truckee River.

It reminds me that when my wife and I stayed at the Sun Mountain Lodge in the Methow Valley a while back I chatted with a long time local who was complaining of liberals moving up there and changing how things are run. ...jus' wonderin'

I can assure you these people didn’t vote for that sack of dung. This is on the East side of the state and we are conservative over here. Although Spokane is becoming liberal.

Did you read the article in the WSJ about the Obama administration cutting off the supply of fire fighting equipment because it was declared not environmentally sound?

That’s the excuse for putting the funding for fire fighting in with the immigration finding

When people ask me why Obama is doing this or that, I tell them because he wants to destroy America. They say, you always say that. Well..

Is aid that Obama declaring fire fighting equipment to be not environmentally compliant reminded me of the Bible parable about the two women who went to the king to ask for a decision on who should take possession of a baby.. The offered to cut the baby in half, knowing that the real mother would give up the child rather than. Have him killed. Obama is the fake mother, who just as soon kill the baby than not get his way,
