About 350,000 acres now burned -- mostly in 48 hours! -- in three almost overlapping fires between Mt. Jefferson and Mt. Hood. My god

For comparison, nearly as large as the Tillamook Burn

From the map, these trees (2005) between Ollalie Lake and Mt Jefferson will have burned. Right side is a then-recent recent burn on the other side of the lake

Likewise a big stretch of the Clackamas River (here 2007)

and Silver Falls State Park seems threatened
