Every year on this day, I wonder when someone is going to pitch me a really good book on the exploding whale and its place in Oregon culture.
opb.org OPB @opb.org · 1d
On this day 55 years ago, blubber went boom at the Oregon Coast.

That's when officials made the legendary decision to blow up a dead whale.

Here's a look back at the explosive piece of Oregon lore with a 2020 story by OPB's Tiffany Camhi written ahead of the whale of a tale's 50th anniversary.
‘It was like a blubber snowstorm’: Why Oregon blew up a whale in 1970
The exploding whale is a piece of Oregon lore that just won’t go away. It’s one of those real-life stories that just sounds too strange to be real.

Big news: our longtime director is retiring and we're on the hunt for a successor (never a replacement!). Pros: we're a small, collegial team dedicated to publishing important regional and scholarly work; Oregon is a great place to live. Con: some might consider my interest in goats excessive.

The physical barriers of four dams are gone. Now, improved water quality in the river could be game changer for fish in the Klamath Basin.
Klamath River temperatures changed dramatically after dam removal. That’s helping salmon swim farther upstream
When water is colder, salmon are healthier and use less energy when they're migrating upstream. Before the removal of the dams, the reservoirs on the Klamath River would get hot over the summer and release warm water throughout the fall, taking a toll on those salmon.

Excellent reporting from @naveenasadasivam.bsky.social on post-disaster contractor scams grist.org/extreme-weat... "More than a third of people impacted by a disaster report experiencing fraud...contractor fraud has become a lucrative business."
First came the wildfire. Then came the scams.
As extreme weather becomes more frequent, so too have post-disaster contractor scams like excessive billing and shoddy repairs.
