"Pointing to ultra-dry conditions and strong winds that have worsened the damage, Lee Han-kyung, disaster and safety division chief, said: “This wildfire has once again exposed the harsh reality of a climate crisis unlike anything we’ve experienced before.”
The #wildfires originated in Uiseong and have been moving rapidly eastward, spreading almost to the coast, carried by gusty winds and with dry conditions aggravating the situation."

@czarbucks@vmst.ioHere is a screencap from a video someone took from the SW region outside of #Asheville.
The fires are closer and you can see the glow at night. The smoke is much worse as well.
This is the #Buncombe County fire near Leicester at Dix Creek.
@czarbucks@vmst.ioWe're up to 7 fires now in the area: 3 in Polk (longest-term) 1 each in Swain, Jackson, Haywood and Buncombe counties.
The winds here SW of #Asheville have dropped, and the smoke is now settling in. My outdoor sensor jumped from 4 to 29 for PM2.5
This may affect our plans to finally go for a hike tomorrow morning.

"The Uiseong fire, only 68% contained and exacerbated by gusty winds, showed "unimaginable" scale and speed, said Lee Byung-doo, a forest disaster expert at the National Institute of Forest Science.
#ClimateChange is projected to make wildfires more frequent globally, Lee said."
