(The) Hellscape Armageddon Inferno Thread

that deck needs a good pressure wash

 

Can you guess which is Phoenix Arizona and which is Portland?

 

I'd turn nocturnal for the next two days.

 

Low of 88 sounds absolutely hideous

 

yes it does, but it’s basically to the point where we need to rebuild it.

 

I couldn’t get my dog to come inside today. She loves it

 

One thing that should be emphasized is very few places in the PNW have A/C. Shit sucks.

I have a place right outside North Cascades NP, way up in WA, plan was to work up there all weekend. Never gets hot b/c it's pretty in the mountains. Was going to work up there all weekend. By 10:00 AM it was already 90 and too hot for me and my 12 year old dog so I drove back. This is the fucking forecast:

Spoiler

Cheese n rice

 

Terrible, thats worse than down here in Eugene.


Also hopefully you are doing a bit of brush work up at your cabin. Driving through the aftermath of the Holiday Farm Fire, it was clear the places that had defensible space had a greater likelihood of survival.

 

I did some preventable work this weekend, got rid of some brush and stuff. There are 2 creeks on the property and it's really wet, but fucking 115, man.

They instituted a burn ban in a lot of WA this weekend -- in fucking June.

 

I've lived here since 2017, and each summer has been progressively worse in terms of heat/fires/etc. And everyone I talk to agrees with the new reality of regular late-summer fires and smoke, as if it's a given. Not fun.

 

Yeah, shit is fucked up. I have lived in oregon all of my 35 years, mid 90s was a rare toasty summer day. Now it's just the norm.

 

This is false. But I feel for you and other humidity peeps in this heat wave.

People are going to die and I feel absolutely terrible about it.

 

Fair. Maybe just Seattle then

boomers moved south, looks like gen y/z is going to be moving north for retirement

 

I have to be in the Tri Cities WA Tuesday. Not looking forward to that

 

should be down to the low 90s by then.

 

I’m guessing they’ll get damp one way or the other.

 

Forecast says 116 and 114 for tues/wed

 

This fucking sucks so bad.

 

We don’t have AC because the annual high here used to be like 85.

 

It’s already 80 on the coast which is like the top end high typically at this point of the year.

 

My power just went out for a second. I pray to allah that it was just a reset and there isn’t an outage today.

 

had a big outage last Tuesday. Brownouts in the US, proof capitalism rocks.

 

You move out to the PNW? Waking up to 80 degrees this am was not something I am built for as a native Oregonian.

 

Nearly. Idaho.

 

Wow, never pegged you for being either Mormon or a white supremacist.

Kidding of course, some downright beautiful country.

 

it is god awful in terms of people and wonderful in terms of geography

 

Done with being cooped up, I'm heading out it just can't be that bad.

 

Olympic Trials just got postponed till later tonight. Car is reading 110 currently

 

Ts and Ps

 

Excited to hear how Oregon blames California for their heat wave.

 

Clearly this is a scheme driven by big tech using weather machines from the Bay Area to keep our property values lower so they can snatch up all our property.

 

Im not having fun

 

checks out

 

Hottest temp ever recorded in the history of Canada is pretty scary. Record might fall tomorrow

 

It's hot out here but not terrible

 

People here hate you guys but this time it isn't your fault

 

It’s soul crushing
