Fort McMurray Wildfires
 

Terrible situation in Alberta Canada at mo caused by months of dry weather and a sudden hot spell with strong winds(temps in high 80s)




More than 80,000 people have fled the municipality on a mandatory evacuation order that was expanded late Wednesday night.

Whole neighbourhoods burned out and downtown now affected

Saw the footage on the news, looks terrifying :worry:

The scenes are shocking :worry:

Yeah I saw this on the news too. Totally tragic and heartbreaking. Feeling bad for all the animals out there :(

very frightening.

What an awful situation. I saw footage on the news of people making their way out of the area, it looked like a disaster movie. No one killed or injured... I hope it stays that way.

I live over 800km away and my city was locked in with smoke from the fires last night. We had such heavy winds that it blew it through while I slept... but those winds are what are fueling the fire so that is not a good thing :worry:

Two have died in a fatal car crash fleeing the city. One was a lovely 15 year old girl, a triplet travelling without her family. Very tragic

Praying for our Loveita :worry:

this just mental

Horrific to see.
People losing just about everything.

Kind of heartbreaking seeing all those people rushing to safety and then theres those police officers/fire men making sure that people manage to get away

It's the worst natural disaster on record for the Canadians :(
Never again will I moan about our weather!

This is so horrible, it's so bad that the smoke blew deep into the states and I saw a bit of a haze in Iowa because of it.

Didn't affect the air quality really but that shows you how massive this fire is

Too Dangerous

Tragic to watch...and two things:

That poor fish :sad:

And the fire alarm took way to long to go off... Well after smoke and heat could have been detected.
