#wawx — Public Fediverse posts

Spotted departing Portland Int'l Airport #KPDX: FedEx MD-11 N522FE continuing to Seattle after diverting to Portland when thunderstorms tangled up the approaches to SEA. The same storms had hit PDX earlier in the day. There was just enough light to get a picture. Very few #MD11 aircraft remain in service, now almost all with FedEx. #aviation #cargo #avgeek #ORwx #WAwx #weather

@Nshrubs @sollat Went right over us NE of Redmond. Lightning, thunder, pounding rain and a bit of hail. Very little wind though. #WAwx #PNW

05:30 Saturday - Scanner report that the #NewellRoadFire near Roosevelt, #Washington has burned a house, barn, and two outbuildings. The most recent size estimate has it at 2400 ha.

It burned under some of our wind turbines overnight but so far it isn’t in our solar park.

At work this evening we have a #wildfire (#NewellRoadFire) burning at the base of some of our #wind turbines and heading toward our #solar. We’ve shut off generation to some turbines but with how fast fires burn in arid regions the risk of damage to them is minimal. Very interested to see what happens at the solar park, though.

Yellow squares are heat detection by GOES West satellite. Heat locations are only *approximate*. Most likely not all the yellow area is burning. Heat detections are sometimes just smoke+embers. #WAfire #WAwx #wildfire
