You all can only imagine what its been like here for three days. Lets just say that when David Muir on ABC news last nite leads with Medford OR, its major news. Half of Phoenix is gone, prob 70% of Talent is gone. Then an hour after I got gas at Costco and then dropped of two bags of toiletries to the Expo (fair grounds next to Medford) a huge fire broke out there. New Costco is still standing. Planes dropped retardant around the Expo cus there are over 1000 ppl there and no where to take them, much less what to take them in. "Central Point fire"
Obenchain fire right behind Eagle Point, my town, is going to decimate Shady Cove and Trail. Its at 50K acres so far. Power outages galore. All of Medford and surrounding communities are ordered to turn off all exterior water cus the demand for fire fighting is extreme. Huge airplanes dropping red retardant all day yesterday. Too smokey to fly so far this morning, even for the lead small plane which the huge plane follows to know where to drop.
I'm becoming an expert in fires (jk). Rim fire in Yosemite. Butte fire in Mountain Ranch. Taylor Creek fire in Grants Pass. Now these fires.
Lots of oregon is lost east of Salem and Eugene too. Entire towns toasted. hundreds of thousands of acres now crispy.
Humidity for three days has been in the single digits.
I told my ex (who is back with me) that if Jesus is coming, I want to be able to cling to him while the world ends.
