More seriously it looks pretty bad in some places, I guess some towns in
Southern OR have gone up in flames.
Talent and Phoenix in southern Oregon have been destroyed. Mill City mostly
destroyed. Santiam Canyon pretty well totally burned, including the city of
Detroit. All Clackamas County under evacuation levels: the eastern half is
level 3 ("Get out now") the western half under level 2 ("Prepare to leave"),
including Canby and Oregon City. Portland's declared a fire emergency
because the southern areas are threatende. To the east, Sandy and Corbett
have been told to get ready to go.
Smoke's so thick I can barely see the houses about 100m across our
neighborhood park from my back yard.
When the rains come (which might be mid-next week) the erosion and flooding
will exacerbate the misery and costs.
Drought, pandemic, federal administration, economic collapse, and now record
wildland fires. A year to remember and there's still 1/3rd to go.
