The Oregon evac map ... I have at least four coworkers in the green "be ready" evac zone -- (pic) - Beryllium Sep 11, 11:55 [Attachment] 11
- Yep. That northern border is 6.5 km south of my house. -- (edited) - ReluctantCynic Sep 11, 12:05

        my concern is the people having to deal with the militias vs dealing with the fire, etc. -- nm* - Andie Sep 11, 12:55
        
        The problem is that a few groups are setting up "checkpoints" on roads that are being used as evacuation routes. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Sep 11, 12:53 1
        
        Oh well that is BS then. I thought they were, like, looking for the real killer. -- nm - Wakanda Forever Sep 11, 12:58
