Practical tip for those dealing with wildfire smoke now: you can make a very effective air filter for a reasonable amount of money using a box fan & one of those filters meant for your furnace.
Also, I've managed to pick up 2 of the box fans for very cheap/free from yard sales. Make sure you get a filter rated for wildfire smoke, I think this one cost about $20.
These make a huge difference in the indoor air quality.
Algeria
Many of you may think it's a big 🏜️ desert, but no, Algeria is the 10 biggest country and among the best 10 natural wildlife countries, it has unique views we have mountain and lakes and snow and Beaches and so much more, being called the continent, country, and now alors of this nature is burning
People are dying here, people are losing their life because fire started in the north east of the country, TIZI OUZOU wilaya ( state) is the most touched but Béjaïa, Sétif and others are touched as well ..
65 deaths until now, 24 soldiers from them are soldiers who went to help the firefighters,
Horrible stories are being heard, a women with her two daughters hugging her being burned that way, a guy trying to help his animals escape...
You have to understand that what was touched are the rural, very traditional areas, old villages with a lot of history, houses of generations, and the fires even came the the cities ..
The people that escaped the fires aren't safe, they list EVERYTHING THEY HAD, their animals, their crops, their lands, their house, their things... Everything, they went to the cities but so many people got lost, or hurt, hospitals are already overwhelmed by the covid pandemic, we don't have enough oxygen nor enough beds for everyone...
Alots of young men came to help, from all around the country, currently in summer it's 45°c /113°F and the fires made it worse....
It's no joke, the people are in need of water, food, blankets, baby powder, and burn heals, respiratory cleansers, batteries and candles ( there are no lights!! They had to cut gaz and electricity for safety) anything to help...!!!
On top of the COVID-19 pandemic problems and crisis we face, and the limited access to water we are submitted to, the fires made it even worse....
We are needing your prayers
We are needing your help
Climate change has been a key factor in increasing the risk and extent of wildfires in the Western United States. Wildfire risk depends on a number of factors, including temperature, soil moisture, and the presence of trees, shrubs, and other potential fuel. All these factors have strong direct or indirect ties to climate variability and climate change. Climate change causes forest fuels (the organic matter that burns and spreads wildfire) to be more dry, and has doubled the number of large fires between 1984 and 2015 in the western United States.

The Day After Tomorrow: The Superstorm that Will Set Off a New Ice Age
Just like the 2004 science fiction disaster film “The Day After Tomorrow,” the Bible also predicts the coming of a superstorm at the end of days that will set off catastrophic natural disasters throughout the world and lead to a new ice age!
By Author Eli Kittim
Sea Levels Rise: Floods & Tsunamis
Psalm 93.3-4 (NRSV):
The floods have lifted up, O Lord, the floods
have lifted up their voice; the floods lift up
their roaring. More majestic than the
thunders of mighty waters, more majestic
than the waves of the sea.
Great Noise: Earthquakes, Hurricanes, Whirlwinds, Storms, & Raging Fires
Isaiah 29.6:
you will be visited by the Lord of hosts with
thunder and earthquake and great noise,
with whirlwind and tempest, and the flame
of a devouring fire.
Winds, Storms & Tempests
Isaiah 32.2:
Each will be like a hiding place from the
wind, a covert from the tempest, like
streams of water in a dry place, like the
shade of a great rock in a weary land.
Storms, Hurricanes & Whirling Tempests
Jeremiah 23.19:
Look, the storm of the Lord! Wrath has gone
forth, a whirling tempest; it will burst upon
the head of the wicked.
Thunder, Lightning & Whirlwinds
Zechariah 9.14:
Then the Lord will appear over them, and
his arrow go forth like lightning; the Lord
God will sound the trumpet and march forth
in the whirlwinds of the south.
Great Fear: Lunar & Solar Eclipses, Tsunamis, Sea Levels Rise
Luke 21.25-26:
There will be signs in the sun, the moon,
and the stars, and on the earth distress
among nations confused by the roaring of
the sea and the waves. People will faint
from fear and foreboding of what is coming
upon the world, for the powers of the
heavens will be shaken.
One Third of the Earth Burned Up, Impact Events, Megatsunamis, Mountains Falling Into the Sea, One Third of the Sea Life Dead, Poisoned Waters & Nuclear Winter
Revelation 8.7-12:
The first angel blew his trumpet, and there
came hail and fire, mixed with blood, and
they were hurled to the earth; and a third of
the earth was burned up, and a third of the
trees were burned up, and all green grass
was burned up. The second angel blew his
trumpet, and something like a great
mountain, burning with fire, was thrown into
the sea. A third of the sea became blood, a
third of the living creatures in the sea died,
and a third of the ships were destroyed. The
third angel blew his trumpet, and a great
star fell from heaven, blazing like a torch,
and it fell on a third of the rivers and on the
springs of water. The name of the star is
Wormwood. A third of the waters became
wormwood, and many died from the water,
because it was made bitter. The fourth
angel blew his trumpet, and a third of the
sun was struck, and a third of the moon,
and a third of the stars, so that a third of
their light was darkened; a third of the day
was kept from shining, and likewise the
night.
Impact Events: Meteors, Asteroids & Comets Hitting the Earth
Revelation 9.1:
And the fifth angel blew his trumpet, and I
saw a star that had fallen from heaven
to earth, and he was given the key
to the shaft of the bottomless pit.
One Third of Mankind Killed By War & Air pollution
Revelation 9.18:
By these three plagues a third of humankind
was killed, by the fire and smoke and sulfur
coming out of their mouths.
Thunder & Lightning, Huge Earthquakes, Disappearing Islands & Mountains due to Sea Levels Rising & Catastrophic Storms
Revelation 16.18-20:
And there came flashes of lightning,
rumblings, peals of thunder, and a violent
earthquake, such as had not occurred since
people were upon the earth, so violent was
that earthquake. The great city was split
into three parts, and the cities of the
nations fell. God remembered great Babylon
and gave her the wine-cup of the fury of his
wrath. And every island fled away, and no
mountains were to be found.
Severe Weather: Monsoons, Thunderstorms, Tornadoes & Hailstorms
Revelation 16.21:
and huge hailstones, each weighing about a
hundred pounds, dropped from heaven on
people, until they cursed God for the plague
of the hail, so fearful was that plague.
Matthew 24.21:
For then there will be a great tribulation, such
as has not occurred since the beginning of the
world until now, nor ever will again.

Thank you so much!
Thank you to everyone that reblogged the Chilean support posts, the wildfires continue, but now we have much support and help!
This is not over but we are still fighting!
#ClimateChange
Seriously, everybody knows that the planet is really warming up. But hey!
Over 300 wildfires in Canada are actively ravaging the Western Territories and the Province of British Columbia fuelled by thousand of lightning strikes. Everything is burning down there. Houses, establishments, nature, wildlife...
It's happening more than 5000km from here and it has been bringing us a high quantity of smog for over a month now with high temperatures in the area; even with the burning smell.
We have friends living in Vancouver, aka Raincouver where it rains pratically everyday, and they say that they haven't received any rain for over 50 days.
Unbelievable!
#Wildfires
These actively burning wildfires must stop.
They say that these high temperatures followed by lack of rain have a long-term effect on society, wildlife and nature. And also that wind can spread smoke and gases over wide areas affecting thousands of kilometers downwind.
Here we're at more than 5000km from the main activity and everyone can feel the effects.
Seriously, everybody knows that the planet is really warming up. But hey!
During last Summer we had over 300 wildfires in Canada that were devastating forests, fueled by thousand of lightning strike burning houses, establishments, nature, including wildlife.
While Winters are getting more and more intense with unbelievable amount of snow accompanied with unbearable cold temperatures, like -37C with a windshield of -47C, most wildlife around here can't handle it. So humanity most wake up, now.
…yes!, Climate change!
#RavensDeserveRespect
At 32c below 0 at dawn, when most quadrupeds hide in their shelters, Jack is near me romancing gently my ears (eyes closed) while I’m dressing the rock with some steamy porc meat for him and life partner Diane.
Ravens deserve respect.
