Overexposing the photographs We can see what we pretend we can see Out on the edge of the city scene We feel what we pretend we can feel The days are getting longer and drier and hotter Evaporating the last of the water Basking in majestic ridicule Breaking down, the molecules Ricochet and decay Staring back at me with broken eyes Like empty stalls at abandoned shopping malls Ricochet and decay We'll catch our breath before we run and fall with all our might into the surveilling setting sun Closing in from all sides I can't hide Everything tastes like the bitter end Anticipating a dull parade Celebrating a silent chase I don't believe that we'll disappear If we can't consistently prove we're here But we don't belong in this jurisdiction They're selling t-shirts at this crucifixion And we don't have the corresponding currency It's an odyssey of absurdity Ricochet and decay Staring back at me with broken eyes like empty stalls at abandoned shopping malls Ricochet and decay We'll catch our breath before we run and fall with all our might into the surveilling setting sun Everything tastes like the bitter end Everything tastes like the bitter end And I'm losing face From all the other sides I can't hide I can't hide Every day I'm at a loss And I'm suffering fools Like a suffering fool Everything that I touch Feels like the bitter end And it's radiating Effortlessly graceful And it's closing in From all the other sides I can't hide I can't hide https://youtu.be/v1hJz7xjFTY

Complications posted:Human firefighting efforts can almost certainly save major cities. For now. The biggest fires are crown fires in forests - which have lots of overlapping, close packed, dry fuel in the form of trees and their canopies. Human buildings are always separated with natural firebreaks between them - roads and parking lots. This is why fires seem to run out of momentum really fast once they hit defendable towns. Also, most massive fires take place in undeveloped areas with lots of steep hills and valleys which bad restricts firefighter mobility, deployable numbers, and causes issues keeping everyone supplied with fuel and water and such. Major cities, as yet, have an effectively unlimited manpower, water, and fuel supply to fight fires with on top of massive transportation lanes allowing for extreme mobility by defenders. Cities burn when those factors are obviated. I think you overestimate the ability to fight conflagrations. Once a fire starts burning through a community local resources will be quickly overwhelmed. There are evacuations to manage so you can’t even rely on clear streets or being able to allocate your entire firefighting force to fighting the fire. quote:The first outside assistance to arrive came up Fish Ranch Road to the back side of the hills. A first alarm assignment, consisting of Orinda, Moraga, and Contra Costa County units, had been dispatched by ConFire at 1135 hours, on a report from a citizen of fire on the hilltop above the Caldecott Tunnel. The Orinda battalion chief (BC45) requested a second alarm at 1143 hours, when he reached the top of the hill and saw the magnitude of the fire on the Oakland side. It was impossible for BC45 to make contact with the Oakland incident commander by radio due to the extremely heavy radio traffic, so the Contra Costa companies went to work with the Oakland companies, trying to protect exposed houses and to stop the fire from topping the hills along Marlborough Terrace and Grizzly Peak Boulevard. quote:As the fire continued to spread to the northwest, the huge wood frame structure of the Claremont Hotel became a major concern. The five story hotel, which is believed to be the second largest wood-frame building in the United States, sits on a hillside overlooking the city of Berkeley, at the mouth of Claremont Canyon. The concern was that, if the hotel became involved, it would be a “conflagration breeder,” generating a massive additional source of heat and flying brands that could ignite hundreds of new spot fires in the flatland area. Between 1230 and 1300 hours, the fire had swept through Grandview Canyon and was threatening to jump Tunnel Road, a few blocks south of the hotel. Flames were also visible in the upper reaches of Claremont Canyon. A slight shift in the wind would place the hotel directly in the path of the fire. And again, the fire was only defeated because the winds died down. Without that, they had no ability to stop the fire. quote:The main battle continued until approximately 1930 hours, when the wind finally abated. The smoke and heat changed from pushing ahead of the fire to rising vertically as the wind eased off. Within a few minutes, a cool damp ocean breeze began to push the products of combustion back into the burn area. This stopped the uncontrollable advance of the fire, but left a huge perimeter of blazing homes that continued to expose adjacent structures. The report really dives into the details of the challenges of dealing with wildfires that lead to conflagrations, including some challenges that just can’t be easily resolved. Like the firefighting gear that’s safe for building fires is too exhausting to work in all day, while the gear best for wildfires doesn’t provide the protection needed conflagrations. https://www.usfa.fema.gov/downloads/pdf/publications/tr-060.pdf

Popoto posted:is it possible for the current firestorms the world has been having to have one eventually wipe out a world city? or would human firefighting efforts always be enough to say, prevent LA from burning to the ground? As institutions crumble, I’ve found myself wondering… greater l.a. is, like, thousands and thousands of square miles. it would be virtually impossible for all of it to burn, but equally impossible to prevent parts of it from burning

I've never had to deal with wild fires in real life but that video of the driver going through that has me feeling terrified. It's always been a detached oh cool fire! That must suck real bad anyway on to the next thing. But now with wild fires bound to become very real its like super mild form of anticipated ptsd.

Forecast is just an endless string of low-chance scattered thunderstorms that drop a few minutes of rain at best. It's cool.

Confusedslight posted:I've never had to deal with wild fires in real life but that video of the driver going through that has me feeling terrified. I was thinking today about how much of my daily thoughts are preoccupied by wildfires or their effects. Like waking up and looking at the sky and it's lovely out because of the smoke from whatever fire is going on in the area. Adjusting my daily plans around the AQI. Hearing the hum of an airplane overhead and it's a tanker taking off from the nearest airforce base or maybe a spotter plane. The first topic of discussion whenever you see someone is always about the hot weather and the water situation and how you hope the fires aren't bad this season etc.
