Talking to my parents and friends in Serbia about the evac and fire.. and they are asking all these post-socialist questions that I think will give folks in #LosAngeles a nice chuckle.

1) Are the civilian response teams distributing air filters?

2) When does the team come for you to clear your building for the evacuation?

3) Oh, boy, the state is probably gonna have to work hard to rebuild all that housing.

4) Did they sequester all the public buses for evac yet?

"The Jasper fire was caused by a lightning strike on Monday afternoon and fuelled by strong winds, according to Parks Canada.

Flames from the blaze rose 100 meters high (328 feet), and strong wind gusts on Wednesday afternoon pushed the fire 5 kilometers (3 miles) in less than 30 minutes, said Alberta public safety minister Mike Ellis."
