  • Eagle Creek Fire is now threatening East Portland

    I'm in Southern Oregon, where there are also fires raging.

    But I'm hearing from some of my peeps in East Portland that the 'get ready' evacuation line is now 130 blocks east of their house.

    Troutdale is apparently under threat.

    A big part of the Columbia River Gorge is on fire.

    The fire was started by 15 year olds with fire crackers.

    Insane.

        600,000 salmon released:


        Flames from the Eagle Creek Fire approach the Cascade Hatchery at Cascade Locks (above). The Eagle Creek fire forced Oregon fish officials to release more than 600,000 hatchery salmon on Tuesday, some six months earlier than expected.

        Oregon's Department of Fish and Wildlife had to evacuate the 23 employees at the three hatchery facilities in Cascade Locks as a result of the Columbia River Gorge blaze. The Bonneville, Oxbow and Cascade hatcheries are home to some 6 million fish (mainly Coho and Chinook salmon). Bonneville's Hatchery is also the home of the Sturgeon Viewing Interpretive Center.

        The state was forced to either release hundreds of thousands of five to six-inch hatchery fish now or risk losing them altogether, according to spokesman Ken Loffink. Tanner Creek, one of the water sources feeding a hatchery facility, was "literally engulfed in flames," Loffink said, and the intake pipes were clogged with ash and debris.

            I'm most likely on my way to Texas/Florida, to work in the disaster area.

            I already have it all lined up, and will be looking to head out in coming days (I'll just leave it vague).

                  Hurricane Jose is coming in right behind Hurricane Irma.

                  Good time for the disaster business.

                  Best of all is when the disasters hit rich areas. You know they'll rebuild.
