Beverly Fire

[skyriver]

Man, this sucks. The people in this town don't have much. Already 7 homes destroyed. Sounds like it's burning down Lower Crab Cr Rd headed east.

Grant County's Railroad Fire 98% contained, cause still under investigation

UPDATE: July 28 at 11:31 a.m.

That is tragic……bad fire season for sure. I wonder how close to Nunnally it’s getting?

Beverly has had more than its fair share of fires in the last decade e.g. 2019...

Sad, very sad...

I'm hoping to hear that several former coworkers who live in Schwana an Beverly still have their homes.

northern central Oregon is lit with a quarter million acres on fire, with a really bad fire closing in on the town of Sisters which is currently under Evac 1, the northern end of it having already being evacuated.
Jeff Perrin at the The Fly Fisher Place in Sisters spent the night with his crew packing up the entire shop inventory and transporting it to Bend storage.

I saw some video of that fire...
Seriously bad

 

[Canuck from Kansas]

Seems like Sisters has to get ready to evacuate almost every year now. This one looks particularly close.

From InciWeb:

Poor to near-absent snowpack conditions have resulted in 100-hour and 1,000-hour fuel moisture declining well below seasonal averages, with fuel conditions at higher elevations advancing approximately one to two months ahead of normal. Fuels are uniformly distributed throughout the southern and southwestern portions of the fire area, creating conditions favorable for sustained fire growth. Steep terrain further contributes to fire behavior by promoting rapid upslope runs, increased torching potential, and the likelihood of short- to moderate-range spotting.

Hoping for the best.

the Metolius is getting hammered, very poor outlook for Camp Sherman, areas of the Deschutes now under level 2 restrictions.
We were relatively fire free until two lightening storms in the past 10 days generated over 4,000 recorded lightening strikes, the most recent two days ago.

Don't call me "homie." "Homely" would be more appropriate . . .

This thing is covering some ground.


I wonder if the shitter has damage.



The rough camping area to the west of the parking lot might look a bit different. Man, hope the dude that sells honey didn't get too much damage. He was already hanging by a string.

Beverly, Colville Reservation, Sisters and Central Oregon. Let's hope for early early fall rain.

My friend Dan who, until yesterday, lived in Schwana, is homeless now. He's a recent widower and now homeless. 76 or 77 years old, man, my heart goes out to him.

That’s really sad, hope things work out for him.
