Dozens of wildfires were burning in Oregon on Friday after thunderstorms delivered thousands of lightning strikes across a landscape that had been left parched by drought.

Ted Pierce, manager of the Northwest Interagency Coordination Center, said that 140 new fires were reported on Wednesday and Thursday and that they had burned more than 30,000 acres so far.

“We’re still finding fires,” Mr. Pierce said on Friday afternoon.

About 11,000 people were under one of Oregon’s three levels of evacuation warnings, which range from one, telling people to be ready to leave, to three, telling them to leave immediately, according to the Oregon Office of Emergency Management. It said about 1,200 were under the most urgent order to evacuate immediately.

The fires also brought smoke that was spreading across the Pacific Northwest on Friday afternoon, with the most unhealthy air over southwestern, central and northeastern Oregon.

Libfilth state, like kommiefornia and soviet canuckistan, can't be bothered to do forestry management.

Fuq them, they voted for it.

They should be raking those forests.
Tom, are you raking your forests?
