All over southern Oregon we have fires blowing up right now. The town of Ashland is literally on fire. People trapped on the roof, houses burning, WTF. The authorities are saying stay out, but facebook is blowing up. Yesterday we had clear skies and nothing. Today we had forecasts of 50 mph wind gusts and suddenly the whole world is on fire? We got fires scattered over 40-50 miles, no thunderstorms.
Anybody know what's going on?
burning all the way from San Bernadino to Washington state. hot, dry, windy.
Correction Friend. Basically from the Mexican Border to the Canadian one.
Waiting for an update on that one. Winds were at 29 mph this morning and humidity still below 20% at 0500. Got down in the single digit humidity there today, but winds lessened and look to have somewhat blown back on the burned area.
I'm expecting close to 25K acres by now if it follows historical patterns down there and tomorrow and Fri the E wind kicks back in.
