Myles Posted August 14, 2018 #27 Share Posted August 14, 2018 8 minutes ago, Raptor Witness said: Mendocino Complex Fire is now 547 square miles - USA Today 8-14-2018 If you include this fire, which began on 7-27-2018 and now by far the largest fire in California history, with the very unusual Hurricane of Fire that appeared west of Redding between 7 and 8 PM on 7-26-2018, and at roughly the same time, one does have to wonder, does the Earth have ears, and more importantly, a voice? From "sea to darkened sea," is obviously taken from the song, "America the Beautiful," as an anti-anthem, and is an underline to the concept of Manifest Destiny, previously discussed: From sea to shining sea speaks of the movement of Americans from the Atlantic to the Pacific, specifically, California. Given this, I don't think that the fires in California will be easing anytime soon, at least not until an exodus from California occurs. We are entering a new phase of history, where the Earth's voice is arguably, unmistakable. I don't think the Earth speaks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnchorSteam Posted August 22, 2018 #30 Share Posted August 22, 2018 At this rate, there won't be any forests left to burn in a couple of years, not in this part of the country. Ten out of ten of the big ones in Oregon started on Federal Land. I don't suppose the "Let it Burn" gang will admit they were wrong, eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The forest service does things like this the land is managed but its really dry right now and people keep starting fires. The other big one was sparks from the freeway.
