3. The whole west is tinder dry.

That said, believe it or not, Mac is in a higher risk area than my local neighborhood.

The long range weather forecasts are all but pretty.

7. His specific area is among the highest threat areas

In the Western range

We exchange info regularly.

He is in the south of Oregon, a very deep red area

14. Best thoughts for staying fire free.

Our Royal Gorge and Black Forest are both burning. Very sad. Containment of any kind is very hard. We seem to be at the mercy of the wind and the lack of moisture. Be safe out there.
