Oh, man. Not good news – the GW fire in central Oregon forcing the evacuation of hundreds of people from Black Butte Ranch (a large destination resort, for those unfamiliar with the area).
The Sisters Nugget has up to date coverage of the evacuation and steadily growing fire. The Oregonian said the fire was at 5,400 acres, but that's probably old news.
As partial owners of a cabin in nearby Camp Sherman, and frequent visitors to Black Butte Ranch, we're suffering with the locals all the way from Champaign, Illinois.
I'm not a praying person. But tonight I'll make an exception and pray for central Oregon rain.
Next day update: Now, good news. They're back! In part due to a quarter inch of rain. I still don't believe in prayer, but I bet more than a few Black Butte Ranch residents would argue with me.
