If you own a drone, do NOT fly it over a wildfire. Firefighter aircraft could be grounded, disrupting time-critical firefighting efforts.

If you fly, we can’t.

Having a hard time seeing the sun this morning? It is not due to clouds aloft, but due to smoke from CA wildfires spreading northward at ~10-15k ft AGL. It should mainly remain aloft today. An incoming storm system will push it eastward tonight into tomorrow. #pdxtst #orwx #wawx

Traffic crossing the South Toutle Bridge is now restricted to alternating traffic using a single lane across the center of the bridge. Bridge capacity has been determined to be adequate for legal loads provided traffic is limited to a single vehicle at a time.

Pretty simple message. Don't go past road closed signs around wildfire.

A Cascadia mega-quake isn't a matter of if. It's when. DNR geologists published a new study showing the impact a Cascadia earthquake and tsunami would have on Puget Sound communities.
