Swain mentioned that searching for #ParkFire on Twitter is now retrieving nearly 100% porn spam and is unusable, which he says is the first time that's happened with a major CA wildfire. That SUCKS if emergency hashtags on Twitter are unusable. Watch Duty is now the go-to site for wildfire updates.
When I scheduled this live session yesterday to discuss Western North American wildfire situation, neither catastrophic fire in Canadian Rockies town of #Jasper nor dangerous #ParkFire in California had yet occurred. I will discuss both today @ 3pm PT. www.youtube.com/live...

Climate scientist Daniel Swain pointed out this porn-bot attack on the #ParkFire hashtag two days ago. It's awful but not unexpected that Twitter management doesn't give a shit.

It smells like smoke outside from the #ParkFire and I bet half the people in Chico are having anxiety attacks and flashbacks to the #ParadiseFire. I'm still periodically getting ear-piercing emergency alerts about local mandatory evacuations and evacuation warnings. Fuck it, we're drinking sake.

This means that #ParkFire will almost certainly be among top 3 largest in California history, & could make run at being largest. It has much room to roam amid exceptional confluence of weather, climate, & landscape factors. It will threaten many small NE CA towns in the process.

The #ParkFire continues to advance very rapidly & pose an imminent risk to people in its path. Fire behavior is extreme,& there are extraordinary images emerging of potential pyrovortices. Evacuation warnings (not orders yet) have expanded to Paradise. (Yes, that Paradise.) #CAwx

California's #ParkFire has topped 400,000 acres burned. Just the fourth individual fire or complex to top this threshold in the state since 1932.
FYI: Thirteen (13) of the Top 20 largest fires in the modern era have occurred since 2015.

#ParkFire is making another extraordinarily rapid and intense run to north and northeast this evening, & is likely now well over 200,000 acres in size. Extreme fire behavior is again apparent, with three simultaneous rotating pyrocumulonimbi at last count. #CAwx #CAfire [1/2]

This is a genuinely terrifying prospect…upwards of 12-18” of rain over the massive #ParkFire burn scar in Northern California due to #AtmosphericRiver activity. Stay tuned to @seattlewxguy.bsky.social’s California Weather Watch YouTube channel for the latest. #cawx

Update. Magalia is now also an evac order. No longer a warning. Just north of Paradise. #ParkFire
#ParkFire according to local Reddit, Shingletown now under mandatory evacuation orders. Look at a map for how far north Shingletown is from Chico.
That’s how big this horrific fire is rn.

FWIW, Twitter appears to have fixed the problem with the #ParkFire hashtag, as it seems to be pulling up only relevant posts now and not porn spam.

Some good news about #ParkFire: w/much more favorable weather conditions this week, it appears that activity even on the stubborn NE flank has decreased greatly. While there are still hotspots, there's an increasing likelihood of minimal further growth.#CAwx #CAfire [1/3]

Satellite, radar, and fire camera imagery all suggest #ParkFire is making another major north/northeastward run this evening between Mineral and Mill Creek, with rotating pyroCu plume. Adverse weather conditions will persist for another 2 days or so before fading. #CAwx #CAfire

Strikingly clear indication of potential tornado-strength "pyrovortex" within strongly rotating pyroCb atop #ParkFire right now. This event continues to exhibit almost continuous extreme/exotic fire behavior/phenomena. Significant danger for firefighters/those evacuating. #CAwx

Dangerous situation unfolding in NE Sacramento Valley foothills this evening (NE of Chico) as fast-spreading #ParkFire burns in/near rural community of #Cohasset. Reports that dozens to hundreds of residents are being asked to flee to nearby helipad for rescue. #CAfire #CAwx

Heading to one of my favorite camping spots I have not been to since before the 2024 #ParkFire. It’s, uh, somewhere south of this 10 (???)-blade dozer line.
