Where I live in my county (Clackamas), we are currently at yellow, level 2...meaning you better be packed and ready to evacuate at a moment's notice if the level changes to 3 (red). Crazy times here and the skies are apocalyptic.
We had some scattered controlled wild fires that got hit last week by a couple of days of 60+ mph wind gusts, and the entire state exploded. Over a million areas burned already and some of the fires have zero containment. Luckily the weather is cooperating with cooler more humid air and little wind. Plus we're are supposed to get some needed rain next week. The 914 is operational/mobile so can be moved to the hotel we have reserved if needed. The other P car was in the midst of a bunch of work, so was not. Had it towed yesterday as a precaution to the shop that does all my paint work. Great guys. ![]() ![]() ![]() |

The Riverside Fire here in Clackamas county is just 1/2 mile from the town of Estacada. I live in Boring which is just another 11.5 miles to the north. So we are definitely close to the leading edge of the fire.
Luckily the weather is very benign right now and hopefully the fire crews are making some in roads although the fire is still 0% contained per their website. This fire was supposedly human caused (no reason yet) and is in rugged timber and grassland areas. The weather forecast is for more of the same, low winds, cool and humid air, with rains coming this week. A little too much excitement if you ask me. At this time, I believe we are reasonably safe. I keep checking on weather forecasts, evacuation maps, updates from the firefighters, etc. Thanks for all the advice. It's good to keep well informed on what's going on. I find the local news channels to be close to worthless. |
