    I didn't listen to the press conference, but it looks like this was grounded by the feds.

    Eagle Creek fire has surrounded the Indian Springs fire and eaten it.

    Bridge at Eagle Creek is very likely done for. :(

    Eagle Creek fire is only 5% contained, but as of 24 hours ago, they saved Multnomah Falls building.

    Containment date isn't until the 23rd, or more than 2 weeks away. :(

    Prepare for a cold snowy winter. Farmers Almanac predicts a colder than normal winter for Pacific Northwest.

    I was thinking about this last night and I wonder if they haven't arrested the kid because they know his name would become public record and they don't want people finding out who he is until things are more contained.

    He was with a group of friends, being kids I'm sure they tweeted and facebooked about it. I imagine it's a bit of a process to get warrants to the parents of kids, their cell phone providers, Facebook, Instagram, etc. then to arrange times to have detectives interview the kids with a parent and attorney present.

    I'm sure they're doing all those things as well..... but I also think they don't want his name to become public right in the middle of this. People are really emotional and upset about the whole thing.

    I believe this is a Multnomah County Sheriff's Department investigation, seeing how they handled the Kyron Horman case this might also go unsolved.

    It's pretty fucked up what the kid(s) did, what's even more fucked up is that grown ass people would look to hurt or kill a 15 year old kid over it though. That's beyond sick.

    This. No one deserves to die for a mistake like this. I'm mad at the stupidity that they showed. But, they don't deserve to die or get raped in prison. Come on.
