I call upon Thor, god of sky and Thunder, and Njord, god of the sea, please keep the people in the path of Irma safe. May they find shelter and safety. And PLEASE, may Irma’s path divert to the East, rather than West and toward the already devastated states on the Gulf.
My thoughts and prayers go out to you, my gods, as this storm draws ever closer.
Irma is making landfall on the islands and is on its way to Florida. The people in it’s path, their friends and family, they’re all in my thoughts more than ever before.
Freyr and Freyja, please protect those animals and pets left behind. Please help reunite them when this is all over.
Frigga and Sigyn, please protect the families and children in the path of this storm, keep the kids close to those who love them.
Loki, please watch over those who are weathering this storm alone. Keep them company and keep them safe.
hi, my name is jason. i live in florida and i am so fucked.
hurricane irma was declared stronger than hurricane harvey. harvey was a category four, irma is a category five.i can’t take a plane to live with family, they live in the very poor areas of Jamaica, which is is the Caribbeans, which is y’know, also getting destroyed.
i live with a family of five. a 7yro brother, a 3yro sister, my physically ill mother, and my father (i also have a dog named mandy and i love her so much but that’s besides the point.) i’m poc, trans, a cancer patient, and i’m not too sure if we’ll be able to afford to leave. my mom (who is the main source of income) is not going to be paid for a while. we don’t have enough money to last for all five of us, so i really just. am begging you guys for money. i don’t know if we’re going to leave, or if we’ll stay. but either way, we need money.
i hate doing this because my birth name is on my paypal, but please send some money my way. i’m really scared. https://www.paypal.me/T4ROT
if you can’t donate, please just reblog. i’m so scared.
This photo was taken about forty miles from Portland, almost an hour ago:
They’ve closed the major highway that’s next to the river, I-84 (this photo was taken from the opposite bank of the Columbia River). They had to evacuate several towns, and rescue 140 hikers. The most recent estimate I can find is 4,800 acres are on fire.
The sun has been red all day. The moon is so obscured by smoke it’s dark red and barely visible even though it’s only a few days from full.
It’s raining ash so heavily in Portland that people are comparing it to the ash fall after Mt. St. Helens blew in 1980. Right now, at night, in the headlights of cars it looks just like snow flurries. On my two-mile bicycle ride home I kept having to blink it out of my eyes (it feels like sand, almost). It’s collecting on flat surfaces. I tried to breathe through my nose but then my nose ran too much–I’ll probably ride to work tomorrow with a scarf over my face. I kinda wish I had either prescription swimming goggles or a snowboarding mask or something.
Only a third of houses in Portland have a/c and it’s super hot still; I can’t imagine being someone with asthma and no a/c right now. Just the bike ride home gave me a mild sore throat.
Pika (aka barking mouse bunnies) make their home in the Columbia River Gorge. It’s one of the most beautiful parts of Oregon and Washington. And a huge stretch of it is currently on fire–because some fucking dipshit on a hike at Eagle Creek set off fireworks, despite the fact that we’ve had zero rain for like two fucking months.
So, update if anyone is interested: this fire hopped the Columbia and is spreading. It’s why the Washington state gov. has people scrambling to train National guard to go fight fires like this.
For reference, this post is from Tues., September 5th, 2017— this is a current & ongoing situation as of 1:30am September 6th.
Spell to protect those affected by hurricane Irma.
I have a community spell going on right now (see previous post) but in case some of you miss the deadline of when to send names in, here’s an emoji spell I’m charging with a lot of protection and energy. Like, reblog or simply feed it with your own protective energy:
