I’m all the way down in Virginia and the smoke from the Canadian wildfires was so bad that I woke up from sleeping with the windows open and legit thought I was about to suffocate from breathing that shit in my sleep for 6 hours . I didn’t know it was going to blow in. Get a hepa filter for wherever you stay. Mine clogged up in three days from the smoke unfortunately it was off that night I slept with the windows open.

Im not banned so far as i can tell. let me know if you see this

Corpus got some big rains so lake back up to 20% right from the edge of doom

To come back to this lowest expected wheat yield since the 70s and lowest planted acreage since 1917

“there are specific lubricants that manufacturers require to meet spec for their cars. Those oils can only be made with group III base oil. We make almost 0 group iii base oil domestically. The plant that makes nearly 40% of all group iii base oil was blown up and has been offline for months”

Hearing chatter of Shortages of many lubricants hitting stores.

I’m friends with a miller and he’s been having lots of trouble getting grains to the point where he is alarmed about it. He only does organic though but he said even the big corporate sources are turning up empty. Worth noting because he said he’s never seen anything like this

Local lakes serving the corpus christi industrial/ refinery complex are down to only 8% now catastrophic levels . It would probably take two consecutive hurricane direct hits to refill. The industry is major american refinery complex and plastic and steel/aluminum as well that could be shutdown right as this iran shit is all poppin off. Its a large enough output that it can have some global market level effects

For years the refineries have been sucking down millions gallons per day while fucking over the populace and contaminating the water supply. They tell the citizens to take shorter showers while they get special privileges . They could have done desalination years ago but they didnt want to compromise by dumping the salt in a way that wouldnt murder the entire coastal ecosystem. Now the city has been pumping like 27 emergency wells that are highly contaminated with beta particle activity from naturally occurring radioactive geology, also about to cause major salt water intrusion into the gulf coast aquifer from such rapid pumping.

its getting pretty serious . Water quality is what i would casually call toxic for the past couple years of this drought as they draw from various bad sources.
