An update from the Willamette valley: Heavy smoke, visibility is still about 1/8 of a mile. Our air is considered "hazardous". Remain indoors, outdoors with masks. We need wind and rain. Humidity is about 40%, which is better then it was.

IF you're American, if you're Russian, Trump just offers to send help, no questions asked about forest management.

And since much of the burning is on Federal Land, it would seem Trump is responsible for that "bad forest management", eh?

I've done my research and you won't change my mind. WAKE UP SHEEPLE.

It's actually a global cabal who are trying to fool the world into believing in climate change by pretending there are massive wildfires and record heat in the western U.S.. They're just small individual blazes, probably started by looters, rioters, and Antifa.

OK, that's just too damn reasonable!

A political party has nothing to do with it. If people were asked to vote to raise a tax to better maintain the state's forests, they would reject it. They would say taxes are already plenty high enough. Use the tax money already coming in for that.

This is a real narrative amongst the Alt-right. So much for facts - the orange glow must be photoshopped in.

Sooner or later most people are going to have to move out of there. I know most people move there to take delight in the mountain scenery and the beaches not far away as well as the great weather that is seldom too hot or too cold. But it's getting too dangerous to health and physical safety, along with the incredibly high cost of living caused by so many people wanting to live there. And on top of that highly destructive earthquakes could happen any day. I'd sooner take living with the hazard of tornadoes and the warnings that usually come before them, which may only happen a few times a year at most.

You're right, it's not satire for a large portion of America, and I know that too.

Are you serious? I mean really op, you must not had anything better to do today. The West is burning, some people have died, many are still missing, and thousands of homes lost. Why would you call the fires a hoax? Show some empathy toward your fellow American, regardless of their politics, we are human being first. I feel bad for these people and I wish things get better for them soon. Not everything is a hoax, but this waht Trump have done to this country with that word.
