What was the cause of the crazy windstorm we got through here? Is this related, because that was fucked!

Yeah, but cloaking the entire PNW in a nice warm blanket of smoke-clouds could affect our climate... So what you're saying is: if it IS related, no one really knows how.
Didn't they find that agrarian communities, who burn fields, were in fact harming the environment as much as helping it replenish? I have no source.

Holy hell, yeah you're right definitely not just water.. Doesn't look very natural, probably not the best for whatever plant/fungi soaks it up

A little research reveals:
The material is called phos-check.It is primarily made up of 85% water, 10%fertilizer (ammonia phosphate and sulfate ions), and 5% minor ingredients(iron oxide for color, clay or bentonite). It works by coating the ground,buildings and plants with a moisture (like water, but has a 'stickyness' to it) usually dropped by aircraft and reducing the flammability. It is non-toxic to humans if it gets on your skin but can be harmful to animals if swallowed. It is red because once dropped it is easily visible from the air and on the ground.

Interesting.. Well at least for the most part it's natural. Hate to hear that it is harmful to animals. This stuff has to get into water sources wild animals use to drink

We had quite the storm here last night. Took down a couple trees and made a mess. Ended up losing power for 9 hours. I forgot how crazy dark it gets when all the lights go out.

I was reading an article that was explaining why small fires become so catastrophic. Its all the build up of debris on the ground. Used to just burn off a little bit. But now it's getting so stacked up your leaving chunks as large as ri burnt to the ground.

Fires burn hotter when there's more build up as well... when they burn regularly as they should in 10-15 year cycles it burns fast and quick enough that the trees aren't very damaged... a good lot of the fires this year are hot enough to engulf the trees.
