@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…

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.

@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.
