Aint No Right

It all looks apocalyptic.

This in Phoenix, OR (Southern part by CA) 1,000 homes confirmed gone. 100s more confirmed gone in Talent. Several other small towns confirmed wiped out along Mackenzie River (Blue River, Vida etc) but they can't get in there yet to assess..
Confirmed deaths are starting to roll in.

This all went from being nothing, no major fires, to total devastation within 36 hrs.

4 out of 6 of my family members homes in the Medford/Phoenix are gone, and the other 2 are evacuated So fucked up

Oh no. Is all your family okay?

It seems like everything lately has come to politics. So how does any party handle this

All major population centers in Oregon under extreme fire danger.
500,000 already under mandatory or pack your stuff and get out now orders.
1,000,000 acres currently burning, more coming.
Several significant towns (10,000 pop) under Evacuate NOW! orders and likely succumbing to fire in the next 24 hours.
Got evacuation ready orders for my house in canby at noon today, luckily I have a condo in pdx for my mom and I to go to.

Doing ok for now in NE Portland. In-laws are in Hillsboro, doing fine as far as I know. But yeah, scary shit! I should probably start packing up important stuff just in case.

My friends in SE and Oregon City are getting ready to leave. Crazy.

Oregon City, Sandy and Canby reduced from Level 2 to Level 1 evac notice tonight. Really good news. Looks like a lot of us can safely go back to our homes if we left... Smoke is still really, really terrible in Portland....

This was a couple days ago in Canby, middle of the day....

The air in Portland has turned from a gas into a solid.

yeah, looks like it got up to 511 AQI yesterday .....300 AQI is toxic and hazardous to your health.

And there it is. Political BS. Been seeing a lot of conspiracy stuff on social media about eco terrorists and arsonists. Only like one or two arrests made in southern Oregon related to arson. Social media conspiracies will be the beath of us all. Also lots of people saying we don't manage our forests well. Who the hell is going to clear all those miles of underbrush every year? The summers are getting drier. Sad fact might be this is the new climate.
