Rattlesnake Jack....you ok? The rest of our northern brothers?

Anyone heard from RJ?  Any other GAF members up in FT McMurray/Alberta area?  You guys ok?

On another board I'm on, one of the Canadian members and his wife had to evac.  Bad deal up there.

Good luck guys, I will be praying for you.

I'm on FB with him, haven't seen him on for a couple days, but that not unusuals, how far north is it from medicine Hat?  Ain't heard any mention of that area.

[Delmonico]

He lives quite a ways south, a quick check says 644 miles or so.

Ahh....I could not remember where he lived.  It looks like he is pretty far away.  I know we have a few other Canadian folks.  Do you know where they live?

[Buffalo Creek Law Dog]

I'm just south of Red Deer in Central Alberta.  About 500 miles south of Ft Mac.  Nearest forest is about 60 miles west.

Thanks for the expressions of concern! (Have been very busy with a building project with one of my sons-in-law, so not checking in often) However, we're very safe from the Fort McMurray fires ... or any other forest fires for that matter!

This is what the terrain looks like where I live -    -

Mostly when I see RSJ on FB he is surrounded by acres of Grandchildren. I figure that he is really enjoying retirement.

Smoke; Most of us Canucks on cascity are pretty scattered. I live in Victoria, which is quite civilized but subject to long droughts in summer and long rains in winter. PJ lives in Northern BC, way out West of Quesnel, and vulnerable to forest fires, but with great neighbours and decent road access. I am not familiar with the location of others others.

It looks kinda like SW Kansas;  and just had a huge fire themselves.

But at least it wouldn't be a FOREST fire!.

[RattlesnakeJack]

Yep ... though nothing to be sneered at, prairie fires are not as hard to control and extinguish as big forest fires ...
