I thought perhaps it was from cloud seeding isn't that common procedure here

I think that is a common jump to conclusion train of thought. I recall an internet claim that the cloud seeding along the ND/MT border was stealing their precipitation, as in making it fall before it progressed. My thought is if this train of thought had merit, shouldn't there be a very lush strip of plant growth that parallels the border?

Not from cloud seeding, and I don't know which counties are still in the cloud seeding program.

Williams County has a site that promotes cloud seeding, idk the last few days with these systems coming through haven't produced much for rain.

My question - they do cloud seed up by willy and in the SW part why not central -- Bis had such large hail this summer.

Everyone ready for the big blow tomorrow and got your shit tied down?

Hopefully some dumbass doesn’t start a fire.

Been blowing here since this morning. Good time to combine beans

I saw a fire department post on facebook asking farmers who had a disk to hook it up incase they needed help with a fire. It was a good idea

There will be some dumb ass burning ditches, sloughs, dozed trees…ect and it WILL get out of hand. 100%! People are idiots! Anytime you give them enough rope they’ll hang themselves. It’s human nature.

Supposedly we’re at the top of the food chain…

I was heading back from bring a water truck to Bottineau this morning, heading north of hwy 85 to where the plant was set up about 3:30 to pickup my truck and was heading back to my camper going south on 85 aagain and to the west up ahead I could see smoke running across the road.
I was foolish enough to drive through the smoke and flames right next to my pickup could not see anything other then being able to drive on the rumble strips to get to the other side. Wasn't even 15 minutes time between the time that I got in my truck till the time of the fire. No doubt this was done unintentionally or accidentally on purpose since it was right next to this person farm. Anyways this is probably what Davey is talking about

The worst is up by Ray and it just jumped HWY 2 .

Yeah I don't see anything on the one I went through on 85, but a coworker who dropped me off to my pickup drove west one mile and said that the fire and smoke was east of her on the next county road. Now I know how people feel when a person thinks they can drive down a flooded road only to find out that he road is washed out, never witnessed anything like that before, I guess I'm grateful that I wasn't hurt and will definitely never make a decision like that

 

[lunkerslayer]

I was mistaken about the fire being the same as Ray this website says that it's 2 different areas.

Brother in Boise said the hills are now red with fire retardant out there they have one just north east of town. He can see flames from his friends house that lives on that side of town

The wind is supposed to go down

 

[Traxion]

Air tankers were diverted off of the Elk Fire in the Bighorns to make drops in W ND. There’s a bunch off contract so resources are limited. Winds need to go down!
