Guess it doesn’t really matter, ‘cause shits getting real in Santiam and McKenzie drainages. The MHM cam is frightening esp when you see it shudder and understand thats due to the wind

Washington Emergency Management Division posted a local alert for the state of Washington.
More than 330,000 acres have burned since Monday. Further assistance from more firefighters and the Washington National Guard is on the way. Some notes:
▶️ For the safety of shelter residents and workers, the Red Cross is unable to accept material donations of any kind right now. Anyone looking for help should dial 211.
▶️ The Washington State Patrol is particularly worried that brush fires may explode into deadly fires from people throwing cigarettes out their windows. Please don't do this.
▶️ Seeing others getting evacuation notices? Sign up for local alerts for your home turf ahead of time to make sure you are notified at http://mil.wa.gov/alerts
▶️ As the winds start to slacken, we're left with a complex air quality picture. North Central WA is still seeing impacts from large fires. A fire in Skamania and fires in Oregon may cause problems in SW WA. Western WA is improving, but smoke may linger. Many people are wondering where to go to escape the smoke, but conditions are dynamic and changing quickly, so most communities should be prepared to stay indoors. Check out the smoke forecast from the Washington Department of Ecology. https://wasmoke.blogspot.com/2020/09...pdate.html?m=1

Here is a really good dashboard pit out by the state of Oregon showing latest fire perimeter and evacuation zones.

It is also pulling in MODIS data for detected heat.
nice, thanks
Thanks for the maps NM. Internet and the majority of cell data have been down for my area so those maps are about all I've been able to get my phone to download.
Co-worker snapped this pic on the way back home, flying into RDM.

Washington State DNR closes all land east of the Cascades that it manages to recreation through Friday due to extreme fire danger.

Not looking good for China Peak. Hard to determine if they managed to hold a perimeter or if there wasn't enough heat coming from the trees between the runs for FIRMS to pick up. Definitely got into the perimeter as well as the base area, possibly got into the two lifts that go from base to summit.Quote:

Also not looking good for divegirl's parents condo (circled in green). They are holding the line right now but it could go any time. Hoping for the best but expecting the worst. :(

Winds shift by tomorrow (Thursday) around noon bringing moist marine air from the west. This should help suppress the Oregon and Northern California fires. Just got to make it through the next 24 hours.
Woke up at around 3am shivering from the cold (42°). Had to dig out my down comforter from the closet.Quote:
