Anybody good at chemistry?

  Reveal hidden contents

could it be a chemical reaction between

sodium/potassium/lithium... and water/acid/gas. In watching youtube its fun to see the reactions.

Unfortunately im not a chemist so dont know which chemical to use.

The gas produced in reaction is same as used in zephyrs(flying)(which would be posionous to inhale)

and the 3 has puzzled me also (temperatures of elements, atomic mass etc...)

The wildfires in Russia?

That was the inspiration for the riddle.

But a crucial element is missing from your answer ...

To your first question: Yes. ^_^

And that darned -3 is important ... Sorry, keep trying. :)

the Alaska Wildfires? - had a lot this past June

Its pretty obvious that it has something to do w/ wildfires at this point

Alaska because of the harsh climate; -3 degrees or worse.

It also points to the Alaska Motto: "North to the Future" - yearning for fulfillment?

A very good guess, but no. Keep thinking ...

-3 ... has nothing to do with temperature

golf score: plus it says Red right after it. They often consider when someone goes under-par to be in the "red" numbers, but i can't get anything to make sense with golf, but figured i'd ask anyways

Nope, nothing to do with hitting things. ;)

a nascar crash...trying so hard to win, you end of crashing and taking out 3 or more drivings, then everthing's sparking and crazy because cars are flipping; engines exploding, metal dragging on the cement. Then there is a huge cloud of smoke from fire and oil and rubber.

So long as everyone comes out ok & your driver wasn't swept up, the best part of the race! But sorry, not that either.

(Severe)

Drought, leading to Wildfires

  Reveal hidden contents

Dry ground/grass/forests/crops, in desperate need of water.

The Palmer Drought Severity Index is used to determine long-term drought, with a score of -3 described as severe.

In the U.S., a Red Flag Warning is used to warn that conditions are ideal for wildfires to begin and spread.

Sparks (lightning, lit cigarettes, arson, etc.) can easily cause fires, which can spread quickly, change direction unexpectedly, and jump barriers.

Smoke-filled air contains particulates and pollutants that can cause cardiovascular & respiratory problems, and lead to death.
