BC Mack Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 All that empty land up there... and it hits the biggest town, go figure.... over 75,000 left town already and not looking good for the community, already 1600 homes gone and it's heading for the airport... luckily they were well prepared for this evacuation and good public information. Northern BC also burning, Fort St John area and no spare resources to send to Alberta going to be a bad fire season and water restrictions start in two weeks in Vancouver.... maybe I'll move to California as they've got plenty of water now...!!!! can't remember the handle for our member either... I think he just put an E9 into his Superliner.

BAD DOG Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 Yeah a lot of the folks up in Fort Mac have already been experiencing tough times, a lot are Kaye's off from the oil fields , cost of living in outrageous up there , and a lot can't afford the roof over there heads let alone keep insurance and n it. Our retard Prime Minister is more involved keeping the Syrian refugees happy than helping the people in the country he leads. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/45078-ft-mcmurray-alberta-canada/#findComment-332644 Share on other sites More sharing options...
1958 F.W.D. Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 There's an awful video going around on facebook- it's security cam footage from the inside of someone's home showing the fire encroaching on the exterior of the house and then busting out the windows and finally the smoke is so bad you can't see anything anymore. News commentary accompanying the video states the family was evac'd 2 hours prior and was watching live on the internet. I couldn't even imagine............

Popular Post BC Mack Posted May 9, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted May 9, 2016 Fort Mac... It's an interesting place for sure... highest household income in Canada... third highest house prices in Canada, after Vancouver and Toronto... a room in a house rents for $1100-1500 per month and that's if you are a 7-7 shift. Then, you head to the stores and food and clothing is the same as the rest of Canada, and gas is far cheaper than in Vancouver.. last timeI went there the "Tims" coffee drive through had 50+ pick-ups in the line-up, I parked up, walked in and got my coffee in two minutes..!!!LOL so far, insurance claim "estimates" for rebuilding is 9 Billion... linesmen already heading into town to fix the damaged electrical infrastructure, water undrinkable, hospital closed but not damaged. with workers leaving, some oil giants are closing for up to three weeks, the Canadian GDP could drop 1.5%.. however, Albertans are strong people, will help anyone.... saw a 5 year old kid on TV who is giving glasses of lemonade for a $5 red cross relief donations is getting $100 bills dropped on the table... so far, no reports of deaths.... that's the most important part..!!!
