OT: Nova Scotia Habs Fans (Forest Fires)

[WeThreeKings]

I know we've got a lot of Habs Fans in NS.

I'm currently evacuated from my apartment. Hope everyone is staying safe and away from the fire.

Figured it might be a nice thing to have NS Fans keep everyone updated on their situation and safety during these trying times

There's multiple huge fires in the province and they haven't contained.

That's awful. I hope you got your valuables out and you get back soon. I have family and friends close to the evacuated areas. It's very surreal. A couple of 30+ degree days coming Wednesday and Thursday too. I hope everyone and their pets stay safe.

I was scheduled to go out to Halifax for the first time ever next week. I was really looking forward to it. We’ve postponed into the fall because of the fires. I’m really disappointed but I’ve heard it’s pretty crazy over there.

Stay safe folks!

Stay safe bro

I am increasingly worried for this planet…

Stay safe. Good luck!

They rescinded out evac notice but basically said if you go back be prepared to leave with 30 minutes notice again.

Staying put where I am right now.

Glad to hear you’re OK. My best wishes in this trying time. Thanks for keeping us updated.

Hey, be safe.................my daughter lives in upper tantallon, and has had to leave, she and her husband are staying with us now, and we pray her house is still there, when she can return.....
These fires in the province are insane....

Hopefully the fire departments can get them contained, and mother nature gives us some rain asap....

How are people driving through those embers pushed by wind gusts across the road? Reminds me a little of California fires. Visibility is compromised and there is a risk that the cars catch fire. These roads ought to be blocked, it’s crazy.

 

[Runner77]

This is overwhelming. Other provinces need to get involved and send fireman crews, water bombers, supplies before this gets even worse. Get the army involved, lots of people lost their homes already.

Canada is always among the first to help other countries that suffer disasters. Time to do it at home for our fellow Canadians.

Glad to hear you're safe. Scary situation.

Hopefully things work out for you.

Stay safe.

Spent a great year in Lower Sackville, hope all in Nova Scotia are safe at this time.

Sackville High is the only primary/secondary school I went to that still exists!

Be safe NS people. We keep moving towards that brink of catastrophe... I am in constant conflict with my own self and certain bad habits... Rougher and rougher times ahead for this world.

Wow... I'm just catching up with the news. I'm glad you're okay and hope you can ride this out.

Many years ago, I spent a week exploring Nova Scotia, from Pictou to Halifax. Loved the vibe and the towns... the kind of place I could live happily.

I have a friend in upper tantallon - just a street away from the “area of significant impact” according to one map / report. I hope the situation is changing for the better. Crazy.

Stressful times...............at this point we think our daughters place is ok, but not 100% sure.
Fingers crossed for all involved.

Seems like a stalemate right now. Not moving but not extinguishing or controlled.

Theyre about to be an everywhere thing. Forest fires are up about 200% in the arctic, even.

I am near Barrington Lake fire. It's crazy here. Largest fire in Nova Scotia history. Half of community has been evacuated. Livestock is lose, people lost pets.

So far it has not come this way. I am about 10 minute drive from evacuated area. But my nephew lost everything yesterday morning around 7. New house, barn, collector car, his tractor, 4 wheeler. He was worked up yesterday but last night settled down a bit. He was talking on rebuilding with the insurance.
