Fort Mcmurray Fires, Alberta

[Crashnyploshnit]

Anyone see the fires devastating Fort McMurray in Alberta? The whole town of nearly 80,000 had to be evacuated yesterday due to forest fires. One neighbourhood has already lost 80% of the homes to the fire. The videos coming from there are insane. Some oil companies who run operations near there are cutting back on production and opening their construction camps to house those displaced.

it's pretty horrible. driving out of town through fire has to be scary as hell.

and it's expected to be worse today. with still high temps and high winds.

 

BC it also experiencing a hot, dry start to the summer: there's currently 48 fires burning and 4 evacuation alerts in effect.

so they have no firefighters to lend Alberta.

 

 

it looks like it's going to be a very long summer this year for some.

This is Gods revenge for Justin cuddling all those Pandas.

There was a forest fire in Kinlochleven a couple of weeks past, you'll be glad to know I survived.

A fairy substantial amount to be potentially off the market for a sustained period...have they said who...I mean how the fire started?

[Crashnyploshnit]

Now being told on the local news that over 1,600 houses have been burned to the ground.

Looks very apocalyptic.

That should help push house prices go up a bit

[looksgoodinred]

Looks very apocalyptic.

 

i'm sure it felt that way to some.

 

just shy of 25,000 acres burned. and as noted by Crashnyploshnit, 1,600 houses lost.

No luck. Amidst all this fake drama, NOBODY has died.

[rumpus]

Fake drama?

 

It's dramatic and stressful enough being flooded out, must be heartbreaking getting your house and everything you own burnt to the ground.

 

Typical attention seeking shit from an oik who, when he hears a police car going past, feels the need to post the dramatic event on here.

[tup]

It's only a big drama if you are materialistic in nature.

 

Both houses and things can be replaced.

 

So spare me the big violin. Nobody is hurt as I said.

 

Also I dont get excited by police sirens.

Too busy typing/thinking up shite to post on here to worry about trivial things.

 

Yeah I get what yer saying min.

Is that why Panda has been posting so much?

Speak for yourself.

Albertans

 

It wouldn't happen in Toronto

[Dynamo]

Crazy how warm it gets there. Just googled where it is, thought it'd still be covered in snow and ice.

 

global walming.

Aye Albertans always were a laughing stock when I grew up. Us Vancouverians will always remain a class above.

Aye but below the properly named Vancouverites

^ I'll decide. You just stick to fabricating a history for yourself to appear more interesting than coming from Brechin.

Just wait until the day comes when those folks that have lost their homes accidentally post a lassie's name as their facebook status instead of searching for their profile, then their online pals take the piss on a football forum, then they'll know what a real drama is!

[dave_min]

hmm

 

has Canada taken in any refugees?

Yeah, millions of Weegies have moved there.

[rumpus]

^ Closer to the truth than one might think. Since mid 18th century, 1.5 million Scots have emigrated to Canada.

 

Most settled on the eastern seaboard, New Scotland etc.. with the promise of land for all, work aplenty...

 

It was really a UK government incentive to repatriate colonies and at the same time thin out the Jocko's by giving them a shilling and shoving them on a boat never to be seen again.

[tup]

If they're from Glasgow I'm glad their houses are incinerated.

[rumpus]

^ typical nonsense from a non-entity.

 

I'll give you a shilling if you promise to fuck off and never be seen again.

[Bluto10]

I'll give you that shilling rumpus min
