Oregon's Turn to Burn

Hmmm
#1

First Utah, then Colorado; meanwhile the Northwest Territories, Alberta, Ontario, British Columbia burned quietly until the smoke couldn’t be ignored anymore. Old news.

Now Oregon is really having a time of it. Animated satellite imagery shows how dramatic the fires are… propagating. I encourage those interested to click on the links below to see the most recent 4:20 hours. Late afternoon into the night “the winds pick up” so to say. If they follow Utah and Colorado there should be a show for a week or so.

Eastern Washington has the Kaiser Canyon fire that started on 7-16 and is at at 110,354 acres burned and 13 percent contained. It is on the Colville Indian reservation.

There are some others throughout central and eastern Washington that hopefully will be stopped before they reach the devastation of Oregon, Utah and Colorado and the Canadian territories. It is heartbreaking.
