Littleronin Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 Evacuations sought in railroad tie fire by Hazen WWW.KOLOTV.COM Churchill County residents are urged to stay inside. People with respiratory problems are urged to take extra caution. No one right now seems to know what started this, but it is an absolute mess of a fire that start yesterday afternoon. That neither county has the ability to put out. The heatwave, coupled with high shifty winds yesterday has triggered emergency alerts for neighboring cities for a shelter in place due to toxic smoke just a bit ago. Hopefully they will be able to work a containment perimeter with those conditions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost posted this yesterday, myself. Didn't have the power shut off at my home in Portland or at work in Hillsboro, but got warnings about the possibility in both places.

Last thing anyone needs is for a line to go down due to winds in they drought areas and set off the tinder waiting for anything to get it going on the ground. California only does this type of thing after it happens... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

California only does this type of thing after it happens... That massive fire in the bay area a few years back with orange skies was caused by PG&E. A lot of Californians lol about TX in the storm but they've got orange polluted skies, highways falling into the ocean, droughts, water rationing that almond farmers get to ignore, Enron, rolling blackouts, and all the same bs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b_m_b_m_b_m Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 I mean you can shift generation capacity (and it happens all the time) and there are more options for doing so on the large eastern and western interconnects especially compared to Texas (and there are limits on this as well like a loss of voltage over long distances) but that absolutely doesn’t preclude you from cutting off big chunks of the grid or having them cut off for you (read: natural disaster) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaladinSolo Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 The Texas grid stupidity is so they can skirt regulations which they did and because they did so their grid nearly totally collapsed during a cold snap that could have killed a very large number of people, being part of the national grid would have also helped to a degree.

I worry because he has a bunch of greenhouses for his flowering/shrubs business. (actual flowers, not “my” type of flowers) Although he said they have survived some bad snow storms out there and had a few times where the snow drifted and covered his buildings.
