FIRE!!!!! (out now...) July 27th
above I-84 along the Columbia RIver just barely East of Hood RIver, Oregon... you can see the traffic stopped on the freeway...
THis is just across the Columbia from where I live... I am told it burned 20 acres which is not much as far as forest fires go, but this is so close to town! Planes were dropping fire retardent on the flames, and then a helicopter came and started dipping water from a lake nearby with a giant bucket and dumping that on the flames.
Hurray for good fire crews!
