#911Memorial2026

From Joanne Conger on Facebook: Honestly, I am not sure I am ready for the memorial marking 25 years since 9-11. I remember saying to Bob as I got him out of bed with "Somethings happening." We watched as the morning news shows slowly began to realize what we were witnessing, live on TV.

It was a Tuesday before a large event that I was managing - the only fundraising event for a transitional shelter I was a fund developer for. There was no way we were going to be holding an event anytime soon.

My boss at the time - a woman responsible in some way for about 400 homeless women in Seattle - said to me that it may "take us a while to get back to normal."

"Gillian." I answered, "Nothing is ever going to be normal, again."

And I was as right as I had ever been, and will ever be in my lifetime.

Time is an absolutely screaming freight train.

#Lowell #TropicalOutlook #SevereWeather #HIwx #Kauai

From County of Hawaii on FB: This is a Civil Defense Message
This is a Hurricane Lowell Information Update for Monday September 7th at 5:30pm.

As of 5:00 this afternoon, Hurricane Lowell is a category 2 hurricane with sustained winds of up to 110 mph. Lowell is expected to remain a hurricane as it continues to pass near the Hawaiian Islands.
Lowell is currently located approximately 170 miles southwest of Lihue and 230 miles southwest of Honolulu and moving north northeast at 18 mph.
Although Lowell remains far to the west of Hawaii Island, the forecast continues to call for high surf and possibly heavy rains and flooding conditions.
A Flood Watch remains in effect for Hawaii Island through tomorrow afternoon. Parts of Hawaii Island may see rainfall amounts from 4 to 8 inches with locally higher amounts up to 12 inches. Residents in flood prone areas are advised to take precautions and in particular those areas of the Kau district that were severely impacted by Hurricane Lala.
A high surf warning remains in effect for the south and west facing shores of Hawaii Island and a high surf advisory remains in effect for the east facing shores of Hawaii Island.

At this time all state and county government operations on Hawaii Island and all schools on Hawaii Island will be open tomorrow.

Conditions will be monitored closely and you will be kept informed of any developments.

Please continue to monitor local radio broadcasts for official updates and advisories in your area.

#NCwx

From NC’s Weather Authority on FB: 🥵 Are you ready? The heat is returning in a big way in the first week of September. A ridge of high pressure will build in across the state, leading to soaring temperatures back into the mid/upper 90s for most areas, with some spots breaking 100° as the actual high temperature. Heat index values will be higher; this will start Monday and last all next week into the Labor Day weekend. Limited storm chances due to the high pressure being more directly overhead. A little cooler in the mountains and along the coast but still hot and humid; there is really no end in sight for the foreseeable future.

#USPol #TheGremlinZoo #USDA #Conservation

From Santa Barbara Independent on FB: The federal law that prohibits paving and logging National Forest land is officially on the chopping block, and conservationists warn that the cleaver could strike lands on the Central Coast. ⁠
⁠
The 2001 Roadless Area Conservation Rule protects 59 million acres of National Forest land from logging and roadbuilding — including 635,000 remote acres in Los Padres National Forest. It protects the backcountry, where old-growth forests provide shelter for wildlife and opportunities for outdoor recreation, while keeping the air and watersheds clean.⁠
⁠
But on Tuesday, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) filed a proposed rule to rescind the Roadless Rule in its entirety.⁠
⁠
USDA Secretary Brooke Rollins’s intent to revoke the Roadless Rule has been on conservationists’ radars for more than a year. But now, the threat is materializing.⁠
⁠
Recreationists, hunters, anglers, environmentalists, and anyone who enjoys clean water from headwaters originating in national forests should be especially alarmed, said Mary Lunetta, a conservation strategist for the Sierra Club.⁠

@ai6yr forehead drop on desk…

@ai6yr It’s not fun. Ask me how I know.

@ai6yr I remember when my friend’s mother would give us a dollar to drive to the gas station to pick up a pack of cigarettes and put a gallon of gas in the car…

#DCwx #MDwx #VAwx

From NWS Baltimore / Washington on FB: Multiple rounds of showers and thunderstorms are expected through tonight. Flood Watches are in effect where the threat of flooding is currently highest over the next several hours, but these may need to be expanded in area/extended in time.

#RyanHall #SevereWeather #Flooding #OHwx #INwx

From Ryan Hall Y’all on FB: Ohio and Indiana just moved up to WPC's Moderate flood risk category for tomorrow, one step above where the outlook had them sitting this morning.

That upgrade covers roughly 3.6 million people, including Columbus, Dayton, Springfield, Muncie, and Lima. WPC's Moderate category is built around a 40% or higher chance that rain rates in that area outrun what the drains and small creeks can carry off. If storms line up and repeat over that region tomorrow, that's the kind of setup that turns an ordinary summer rain into fast flooding on low roads and underpasses. Worth building some slack into your Saturday plans if you're heading through that part of Ohio or Indiana.

#Wildfires #Washington #California #Oregon #CleaningFireRetardant

From Spokane Area Fires on FB: So, What Do You Do With All That Red Fire Retardant After the Fire?

If your home, vehicle, driveway, or property was exposed to wildfire retardant, you may be wondering: How do I clean this stuff up?

Here are a few things to know

First—don’t panic, and don’t reach for the bleach!
Clean it sooner rather than later. The red colorant can become more difficult to remove over time, especially from painted or porous surfaces.

Start with plenty of water. Fire retardant is largely water, and thorough rinsing can help dilute and remove residue.

For buildings and other surfaces, a biodegradable general-purpose cleaner can be used according to the manufacturer's directions. Gentle hand cleaning with a soft brush may be necessary on some surfaces.

Be careful with pressure washers. Improper pressure washing can actually push the colorant deeper into wood and other porous materials, potentially making staining permanent.

NEVER use chlorine bleach or bleach-based cleaners. They can react with fire retardant and create harmful or explosive gases.

Think about your four-legged friends, too. Don't allow pets or livestock to drink from puddles containing retardant residue. If retardant gets on your pet, thoroughly shampoo and rinse them.

What about plants? Thoroughly watering vegetation can help dilute the fertilizer components. Some plants may show leaf damage but can recover over time.

And your vehicle? Wash retardant off as soon as possible with plenty of water. Remaining staining may require additional cleaning or polishing.

Remember, fire retardant did its job—it helped slow the fire and gave firefighters a chance to protect lives, homes and property.

Now that the fire is out, take your time and clean it up safely.

@ai6yr @bud_t @AlaskaWx

@camless @ai6yr Gov Ferguson is supposed to to have a press conference at noon PDT. Probably will address some of this.

#VAwx

From NWS Wakefield on FB: Severe storms are possible again today across the entire area with damaging winds being the primary threat, though isolated tornadoes cannot be ruled out. Also, there is slight to moderate risk of excessive rainfall across the area with scattered to numerous instances of flash flooding possible.
