Tennessee Wild Fires: Fire Hydrants Go Dry

Thank you for the billions of gallons of water even though it was a useless gesture,

since I can only survive in a state run hatchery and not in the wild

It's always the thought that counts.

Signed,

you have the mind of a child

Until Oct 2, 2024, the State of CA had policies prioritizing water flows for smelt habitat over water for drinking, irrigation, and fire fighting, leaving reservoirs empty or partially full during years of record and near record precipitation.

Jan 10, 2025, suddenly science and facts have become 'misinformation' again

California water managers decided to curtail extra water flows intended to support endangered delta smelt. The change has sparked debate over protections for fish.

The delta smelt was bound for extinction years ago, but it's still a red flag signifying political ignorance on the right.

The fish in the delta had nothing to do with the empty reservoir. You must be as stupid as FatBoy.

And here I thought there could be no one as stupid as that clown. Well I guess I have to admit I was wrong, LMAO.

you know, the SacBee is not exactly a conservative journal

and they claim that you are not well read

are you illiterate or just ignorant?

CA water to farms, cities reduced to protect Delta smelt  January 01, 2022 1:14 PM

What I read about the hydrants was that they are inspected yearly and reported it they don't work. The same ones were reported inoperable year after year with no action taken to repair them.

You're not there yet Old Hick but at least you made the top 10. LMMFAO.

Old Hick, now you made the top 10 in least educated states (which is good) but you did even better in states with meth issues. Top 4 "You're in the conversation". Are you in walking distance of a meth lab? LMAO.

What state has the most meth labs?

The state with the most meth labs often changes year to year, but according to a 2019 publication by the Columbia Daily Tribune, Missouri ranks #1 in meth manufacturing in the United States. Other states in the conversation include Indiana, Tennessee, and Michigan.

Those were not the winds ...they were the gusts. Hell when I was in the reserves we made an airbourne troop drop out in Death Valley when there wer 60 wind gusts. Also during WWII the Paratrooppers were dropped on Corregidor at under 300 ft in gusts of 60MPH....some went into the ocean but the ones that made it down under heavy gun fire took the island. Seems like keeping the few airplanes capable to make the small drops down iin California was an executive decision that obviously was more concerned about the airplanes and crews than the homeowners that were losing everything.

Also those 100MPH gusts were not over every fire. It was repored as being over the first fire the others had lower numbers reported..

Very interesting OHT. 👍

Why should tenneseeians care, half the popularion is on meth (perhaps a slight exageration).
