OT Oregon wildfires

[Chris Craig]

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.

You'd think for causing a forest fire thats going to wipe out hundreds of acres of forest and maybe destroy some homes that the firestarter should get a hefty sentence....more than a fine....though thats going to be a hell of a fine too...all that restituition.

What the hell was this guy thinking. Im gonna go a light some fireworks during the hottest driest part of the year when half the state is already on fire. Whats the worst thats going to happen.

And he was apparently throwing them off of that big ass cliff on the trail. There is no way to NOT start a fire by doing that.

Go outside and look at the moon, blood red.

Our cars are just covered in ash.

It's crazy.

0% contained. Ash all over the place here in NE Portland and it smells like a fire is close.

Had to work in this today. I went to lunch at 10:30 am, and half the sky was kinda greyish like it was just cloudy... you could breathe fine, all that. I went and got food, half hour later walking back the sky was a dark grey/orange and it was harder to breathe. By noon I couldn't finish simple sentences without having to stop to take an extra breath. It was crazy how fast it creeped up. It was eerie all day.

We need to sacrifice a virgin to the god of fire.

@BonesJones, when is your football fantasy thing over?

This so reminds me of when Mt St Helens blew.

The thick smoke kept it a good 10 degrees cooler than forecast today, only made it to 91. One silver lining I guess.

Above right, not down by the lodge I hope.

This is apparently right along the highway, so yeah, the lodge is in the line.
