These Green Whores who control the Oregonian are apparently spiking the news. There is zero mention of any fires in today's edition.
Thank goodness that KGW is doing a good job.

Lightning Strikes Spark More Fires
PORTLAND - Nearly one-thousand lightning strikes hit central Oregon yesterday afternoon and last night. Firefighters are chasing multiple new wildfires, including one that has prompted the voluntary evacuation of campgrounds on Suttle and Blue lakes northwest of Sisters.
David Widmark, spokesman for the Northwest Interagency Coodination Center in Portland, says heavy lift helicopters are set to begin attacking the Cache Mountain fire this morning. It's now burned about 105 acres and is located on the Deschutes National Forest about 15 miles from Sisters.
The Cache Mountain fire caused campers at the Methodist camps on Suttle Lake and campgrounds and a private resort on Blue Lake to voluntarily leave the area. It isn't immediately known how many campers are affected.
Widmark says the lightning storms moved through the Cascades and up the Columbia River Gorge all the way to the Blue Mountains. They had lightning but very little moisture.
Lightning also started an 80-acre fire south of the Black Canyon Wilderness, near the much larger 747 Fire.
