    You can make jokes all you want but I have family that LIVES in Cascade Locks, North Bonneville, etc that are evacuating now!

    I still don't know if my sister is safe so save your fucking jokes.

    That's not where it jumped from. Not the bridge of the gods. Its west of them just south of Archer mountain.

    True--I wasn't being a stickler about location. More concerned about the fact that it moved north at all.

    This is exactly how I felt when people decided to start derailing the Hurricane Harvey thread. People are still being fucking found dead, and 100s of thousands of people are homeless.

    I'm glad your mother's safe. My sister and Brother in law last I heard were leaving N. Bonneville headed east toward Stevenson.

    I just heard from my Mother-In-Law and we still haven't heard from my other Brother-In-Law. For days... I can't stop seeing his face... Jesus this is killing me....

    Interesting take. But the historical record does not support current catchall.

    Top 10 largest fires in Oregon history:
    -- year
    1 1865 990 thousand acres burned. Silverton fire

    2 2012 558

    3 2002 500

    4 1849 480

    5 1868 300

    6 1936 287 Bandon gone!

    7 2012 245

    8 1933 240 Tillamook Burn 1

    9 1939 217 Tillamook Burn 2

    10 1945 173 Tillamook Burn 3

    Interesting how you have nothing to fucking say until someone brings up climate change. Why don't you just stay out of this thread? Do us all a favor and just sit this one out.

    You posting dates of fires has nothing to do with dispelling climate change. So don't derail this thread into your bullshit.
