Oregon's Bootleg Fire is generating its own weather
Fox News
The super-heated air and smoke from Oregon's Bootleg wildfire have reportedly impacted the weather.
The fire, located 15 miles northwest of Beatty, has already scorched more than 364,000 acres in two weeks and has been contained to 30% by the more than 2,200 personnel working to fight the flames – some of which had hopscotched over fire-retardant containment lines. Skies in New York City and across the East Coast were hazy against a bright orange sun on Tuesday as the smoke from Bootleg and other Western wildfires was blown eastward.More Related News
