Level 3 Evacuation orders have been expanded for the fire in Oakridge, Oregon.

The area under evacuation now is larger, geographically, than Oakridge is. Not a lot of people live in this area. It’s wild to see such a large evac area next to a town under none, but that’s weather for you.

One thing that concerns me, in addition to the proximity to Oakridge. This fire is just east of the intersection of Forest Service Road 21 and HWY 58. Many people are up recreating in and around the reservoir and the lakes higher up the road, likely without cell service. NF21 is the *only* road.

This is a very concerning fire popping up near Oakridge. Level 3 evacuation orders are already in effect for the Dunning Road area, and the fire is less than half an hour old. Only one acre, but spotting and vigorous torching. Oakridge is a logging town with one road in and one road out.

Anyway, this is me, 25 feet above sea level. Keep an eye on the warnings in case something *does* happen (tsunamis are complicated!) and stay safe, everyone!

This is a watch in WA, OR, and CA — not a warning yet.

IF it hits, it’ll be before midnight, depending on the location. It’ll be low tide, just around -.54 feet. For comparison, high tide today is 7 feet.

More updates from NOAA are incoming, but I would be surprised if this even causes flooding.

The only way to get animals “off the endangered species list,” which Burgum says is his goal, is the hard way: by conserving their habitat, and eliminating threats to their survival. (End thread)
