StrangeSox Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 The Oregon wildfires choking the Columbia River Gorge are pretty bad. We hiked back along Eagle Creek, where the fires starts, just last summer. Beautiful area that's going to be completely changed now. Half of Montana's burning down, too, including Glacier NP. They lost the historic Sperry Chalet last week, and now the Lake McDonald lodge is being threatened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RockRaines Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 As someone who has lost everything in a disaster before, send anything you can. Even when the waters recede and the storm passes, you are left with absolutely nothing. Every tiny bit helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangeSox Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 There's a lawsuit against Arkema, the company that owns that chemical plant in Texas that was in danger of a major explosion. Throughout the whole ordeal, they refused to disclose what was actually onsite and how much, citing terrorism concerns. Arkema has been sued for explosions on its site during #Harvey. What's alleged in the lawsuit is horrifying. https://t.co/K91TYxb0s9 pic.twitter.com/gw4oYpZZWE— Neena Satija (@neenareports) September 7, 2017 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The roads may simply not be able to deal with all the people who want to drive out before Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
