More than 5000 Spokane homes have been evacuated. At least 640 structures destroyed. Probably the worst fire in Washington state's history. I have to stay indoors today with air cleaners running. The sun is deep orange. I had to evacuate last year. Thanks fossil fuels for making the Pacific NW US a hell hole this time every year.

🧵2/2 NOAA satellite movie showing the development of the Spokane and other fires in eastern Washington and Oregon on August 1, 2026. For the first time Eastern Washington was given the National Weather Service's new fire threat level warning "Particularly Dangerous Situation". #ClimateChange #Spokane #Washington #SolarPunk #Fire #Climate
