Medford is experiencing 45 mph winds. I was told embers have been flying through the air. But yes, in Medford yesterday multiple fires started that seem too far away to be connected, even with embers flying... ??? The towns of Talent and Phoenix (not Phoenix, Arizona) are devastated, and Eagle Point and outlying areas are in a terrible state today.
If there are hot embers flying and big winds, then fires may start miles between each other. Just takes one hot ember landing in the right spot and getting blown on.
