I’m freaking the gently caress out as people are evacuating TO Eugene so if we have to evacuate it’s going to be absolutely hellish. Logistically I can’t wrap my mind around it.

all the hotels here in grants pass are filled up as is the fairgrounds with evacuees from phoenix, south medford and talent. meanwhile there's a 22000 acre uncontained fire a couple dozen miles to our south burning through forests where it's impossible to get fire equipment and it's absolutely not out of the question that it reaches here and that's ignoring any other fires that might spring up near here.

i don't even know where the central point evacuees can go that's anywhere near here.

also just heard on the scanner another possible new fire in white city. what.

What's the best Great Lakes state to move to in order to escape this hellworld? I see on zillow I can get waterfront property in Cleveland for 35k or thereabouts. I've seen every episode of Property Bros so, you know, I think I can handle a little renovation challenge

not confirmed yet, sounded like the report might have come from a firefighting aircraft. they asked for units to be sent to confirm it. they also just panned the camera around on the local news livestream and i didn't see any smoke in the direction of white city, so if there is one it does not seem like it's major yet.

I can vouch for the western side of Lake Michigan. Can't argue while I'm being cooled by its breeze and drinking its water.
