I thought his 1 million figure was high, but this article says 500,000 flee.
Oregon wildfires: Half a million people flee dozens of infernos

500,000 are under Evacuation possibilities...level 1, 2 or 3...about 40,000 have had to actually evacuate (level 3) so far as I understand.
My Brother just got back from ORE. One of his friends lost their business.
They were told to evac the house, except the looters are following right behind and are actually watching people leave and then move in. His grand son, who is a deputy, went in and stood watch until the last straw. If anyone would have tried to get into the place to loot, he was ready to shoot to kill.
He did not know if the place made it or not as of today. No cell service..etc.
False. Only 40,000 are evacuated. The half million number included those in potential evacuation zones. Oregonian corrected the number two days ago.
