Armageddon in Alberta Now! 60,000 Evacuate as Entire City Burns to the Ground
MAY 3, 2016:
The largest evacuation in the history of the Canadian province of Alberta, affecting about 61,000 people, was under way Tuesday night as an out-of-control wildfire raged after having doubled to 10,000 square miles in just 24 hours, officials said.
Authorities said the fire entered Fort McMurray, a city of 61,000 people about 270 miles northeast of Edmonton by Tuesday night and was still burning. There were no deaths or serious injuries, but approximately 53,000 people had been evacuated from the area as of late Tuesday night, officials said.
“Homes are on fire as we speak. We have fire burning within the city,” Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo Fire Chief Darby Allen told reporters on a conference call late Tuesday.
“Homes are on fire as we speak. We have fire burning within the city,” Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo Fire Chief Darby Allen told reporters on a conference call late Tuesday. “We’ve had a devastating day/”
Firefighters from across Canada were being mobilized to aid in the fight, he said.
Around 150 firefighters were battling the blaze Tuesday and 70 to 80 more were on the way. Help from the army and air force has been requested and is about two days out, Allen said.
“I know that it’s a very scary time,” Alberta Premier Rachel Notley said at a news conference late Tuesday afternoon. “I know it’s a very, very stressful time for people to have to leave their homes under these conditions.”
Allen said the dangerous conditions that fueled the fire — high temperatures, low humidity and high winds — are expected to continue Wednesday.
“The worst of the fire is not over,” he said.
Reid Fiest, a reporter for Global National News, was live on air when the flames quickly escalated.
The Municipality of Wood Buffalo ordered evacuations of the entire city at 6:20 p.m. (8:20 p.m. ET).
The Canadian Broadcasting Corp. reported that an undetermined number of homes had been destroyed and that Highway 63 was gridlocked as thousands of vehicles flooded the main road south out of the city. The highway was later reopened, Allen said.
Northern Lights Regional Health Centre, the region’s main hospital, said Tuesday night that all 105 patients, 73 of them in acute care units, were safely evacuated and were being transported to other facilities. Meanwhile, about 20 arrivals and departures were canceled at Fort McMurray International Airport, the airport said.

Whistler Blowers, Insiders
It would be in July after a heatwave, it would make sense, but then, just out of winter, undergo a huge forest fire it’s suspicious.
Now that I think may be there for shale gas in Alberta, what better way to get rid of all these trees, not to have more on the back, ecologists.
with respect, i do not think your solution of ‘praying’ is gonna do much good in this situation.
mobilising more people resources yes,but to pray…no, i honestly think that won’t help.
Who is in charge? We have fire fighting aircraft in the US that could help why weren’t they there?
Grampa
The Canadian govt is in charge. They didn’t want to spring for the $ that it would take to get the water tank aircraft moved up there.
Plagarize much? This is pretty much ripped word for word from NBC news.

There millions upon millions, of dead pines, in the Sierras right now..

They say it is drought & beetles.

33% – or so of the pines are brown from Tahoe to LA……(It appears to me.)
One would think by now, with all that’s been invented between CERN & Area 51, there’d be a better forest fire extinguisher than chemicals, dirt, & water! (100 year old technology??)
There’s these 2 guys on YouTube, that invented a fire extinguisher made of an amplifier that puts out a 60Hz sound wave. It works great on small camp fires. Maybe, if using a large parametric speaker (soundlazer.com) hooked up in front of a raised & fire proofed 4 wheel drive, with a row of pressure washer type of water jets underneath, it might work. What do you think about that? Might even put those guys at Area 51 to work figuring it out.
A tactical nuke might work too. But, there wouldn’t be much of the city left!
chemtrails and chemicals from them killed millions of mostly spruce trees in our forest here in Idaho and resulted in a horrible fire season last fall.
Story should read , wild fire in Alberta, Canada 88,000 evacuate as 1600 hundred buildings have been burnt to the ground as of May 6th, Friday morning. Google , Ft. Mc Murray Alberta. dash cam, etc
