#CarrFire
Our hearts are with everyone impacted by the #PalisadesFire #EatonFire #HurstFire. This 🧵shares our experience during our 18-day evacuation from the #CarrFire in '18. I offer it again, typos and all, in case there is something here that might be helpful now.

WCK fed us after the #CarrFire, and I have been a monthly contributor since.

When my mother died, it was her chosen charity.

So much love and hope wrapped up in fresh, healthy meals.
I donated to World Central Kitchen today. They are in Southern California making sure people have something to eat. Chef Andres is a compassionate man. His teams are angels. You can donate at WCK.org

I know first hand how much these notes I collected after the #CarrFire meant to Whiskeytown's first responders and they don't have to be fancy.

See @expeditionsined.bsky.social's post for additional details on how you can join an organized effort.

A8: I organized a letter-writing campaign after the #CarrFire destroyed nearly all of Whiskeytown National Recreation Area, and the notes of support that poured in were so meaningful. Should we pick one park each week and all write them notes? Flood them with #ParkChat mail?

We saw this after the CarrFire! Our ecological explained how roots can burn underground and create the vacuums that look like burrows or tunnels. Not saying this is true for where you are or these photos.

Correct. Note that we left on our sliding glass door just before we killed the lights, vented the propane and evacuated our home for the #CarrFire in 2018.

The #CarrFire was fully contained on August 30. 2.5 months later, crews continue to do active debris removal from residential and commercial properties that were destroyed. There is a process to minimize contamination to ground water supplies, etc. /34

We live deep in the #CarrFire burn zone. Nothing could have prepared me for the first drive back to our property. Yes, I had seen all the videos and still photos from all the media outlets and I had to pull over to sob many times. Do your best. It is heart-wrenching. 13/

Need some sun? I saved you some. Western Redbud, Gray Pine, Black Oak all contributing to rehabilitation efforts after the #carrfire raged through here in 2018. #nature #carrfirerecovery

I so miss Nasty Women of NPS. That account helped me signal boost needs for other NPS employees who lost their homes in the #CarrFire. Brave, brilliant women speaking truth to power. I wish they'd return here!

Was talking to someone about the #carrfire today - and how impactful it was for me to visit the area in 2019 while serving on the CA Wildfire Commission. Found this to share with them and watching it now am just filled with chills.

I lived in Paradise through high school -- home of the #CampFire. My grandparents lived in Redding -- home of the #CarrFire. All of Northern California is expected to be regularly under siege from wildfires and we rely on Daniel to help us stay informed.

Recognizing that we’ve had big fires that have been in some ways similar (eg, Oakland, Witch), I do think we’re in new territory with the speed and spread into neighborhoods with #CarrFire and others.

Trauma-informed #disaster response: relevant to so many new and ongoing issues including the #CranstonFire. And the #CarrFire. And wildfires in #Greece and #Sweden. Dam collapse in Laos. Heat waves in Japan and many other places. Thanks to @drkiakeating for her insights.

The #CarrFire is, of course, just the latest in a series of unprecedented firestorms, across the Northern hemisphere, driven by record-breaking heatwaves and heavy winds.

Climate chaos is here, and "normal" weather is a thing of our past.

The temperature in Redding CA is going to be 110F today. Imagine being a firefighter trying to save a city in those conditions. Such respect. #carrfire

#CarrFire #ShastaCounty July 23rd 1:40 pm leaving the Oak Bottom parking lot Whiskytown lake, second picture eight minutes later from the visitor center. as far as I know I took the first picture because I had to leave for work. Trump said we should have raked the forest #wildfires #FuckTrump

This is not the kind of fire you want to see pointed at a metropolitan area. https://mappingsupport.com/p2/gissurfer.php?center=40.635446,-122.509423&zoom=11&fire=CA,Carr #CarrFire via @MappingSupport
