Thanks for the information @troutdude - guess I will cut my trip short tomorrow - though it doesn't look like the high winds come in until after 5pm.​

Eazy E huh? Man I’ve been listening to NWA since 88 when that album came out👍

These winds have wreaked havoc. Bad fires in Roseburg area and my beautiful McKenzie is torching. Blue River looks to be destroyed and now evacuations in Marcola. Getting scary! Had to quit working outside today even with a mask on, snowing ashes and horrendous air quality in Eugene/Springfield today. Damn I miss the rain☹️Be safe everyone!

We watched a live stream from some guys in a fire truck up that way. Those places are not ALL burnt up but a lot of structures are gone, many made it, though. We are waiting to hear on my mother-in-law's house but it doesn't look good. Everyone made it out which is the good news.
