Just a couple of hours ago I took these photos from my backyard.

Do you see that tiny tiny black dot on the right side of the bottom photo? That's a helicopter for scale. This shit is about 15 miles from where in staying. This is a really bad fire season. It is so bad here in Douglas county that they are only putting resources into fires over a certain size.

It's so bad I can't even be outside for that long, the smoke is terrible. Plus it's supposed to be like 100 degrees this weekend, 100 degrees in September.

Yeah, my sinuses have been wrecked. I blew blood out earlier today.

Yep. The sky is looking like Sasha Grey.
I'm in the backyard typing this and it looks like it's snowing right now with giant chunks of ash falling everywhere.
 
The air quality sucks, but try to remember that fire is actually not all bad; this is part of a healthy forest ecosystem. Once it starts pissing rain in another month or so it'll sort itself out.
 
They just closed I-84 in the gorge due to fire.

Some dipshit was playing with fireworks and now the Columbia gorge is ablaze.

The ash falling in the Portland Metro area reminds of when Mt St Helens blew, lol.
 
Portland Public Schools closing at noon tomorrow because of the ash.
 
Has it been this bad before. Looked up the rest of the world. Most of south america is engulfed, south Africa, austraila...damn

I wonder how much time hes going to get

I don't know about time but people are being told to leave their homes in the gorge because of the fire, if any of them are burned he should have to pay something.
