Jesse Posted September 5, 2017 Report Share Posted September 5, 2017 Monthly records today in Brookings (103, tying 1973) and Burns (100, tying 1950). Everyone's partying but us.I don't know of anywhere in the I-5 corridor that has tied or set monthly record highs with this event. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Posted September 5, 2017 Report Share Posted September 5, 2017 Irma should become a category 5 sometime tomorrow or tomorrow night, judging by the modeled soundings over the projected track. My guess is she peaks at 165mph, but I guess something more intense is possible too.

Jesse Posted September 5, 2017 Report Share Posted September 5, 2017 You can't have one without the other. A super sexy -10 day is only possible because there have been spine-deteriorating, cancer-causing, bowel obstructing, ball-shrinking, rapist-creating, Nazi-sympathizing, butthole surfing +10 days before it.Settle down. Shouldn't be too hard to wrap your completely unbiased mind around why some might be a little worn out by summertime warm anomalies at this point. And even then, it's not like I or anyone else have been complaining non-stop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kayla Posted September 5, 2017 Report Share Posted September 5, 2017 Some light ash fall here in the Tigard area. Seeing reports of it even as far west as HIO now. It's all really sad to hear. We used to hike out there all the time and I can't even begin to imagine what it's going to look like when this is all over. It's now getting way to close to Multnomah Falls for comfort as well with a horrible gradient tonight/tomorrow. Sucks.
