This is a photo of one of the boats that is helping - I took it a few years ago -- (link) - Beryllium Oct 23, 19:57 [flickr]
Also, the bomb cyclone hits us tomorrow afternoon - waves will be 2.5 metres or higher -- nm - Beryllium Oct 23, 18:46 5
- I would say 'ok then the waves can put the fire out' but its likely water into a container of lithium batteries that is fueling that conflagation -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 23, 18:49
- Wind will be 70-100km/h -- nm - Beryllium Oct 23, 18:46 3
  - The containers that are on fire contain 50,000kg of potassium amylxanthate -- (link) - Beryllium Oct 23, 18:50 2

      - Yeah. Not good. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 23, 19:00
I wonder how tempted enemies have been to take advantage of those sitting duck ships waiting to unload. -- nm - Max Oct 23, 18:43 2
- If you could lasso one of those washed away but still floating containers could you tow it home and keep the contents? -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 23, 18:59 1
  - "Legitimate salvage." -- nm - Beryllium Oct 23, 19:00
and here is a video, much closer (not mine) -- (link) - Beryllium Oct 23, 18:06 4

- are all the forest fighting air craft still fighting CA fires? seems they could use a drop of retardant or just soap foam if enviro concerns -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 23, 18:38 1
  - That might dislodge more containers. -- (link) - Beryllium Oct 23, 18:40
- I suspect the fire will get worse overnight. -- (link) - Beryllium Oct 23, 18:27 [youtube]
