Burdoin, Snyder Canyon fires continue burning in Klickitat County
PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — Two fires in Klickitat County, Wash., continue to burn Thursday as crews seek to close gaps in fire lines to prevent further spread. According to fire officials, on Wednesday, crews closed the ; however, they said it will still take time to contain the fire fully. Currently, the Burdoin Fire is listed at 11,248 acres and 13% contained. Trump approves FEMA funds for flood-hit Oregon communities To the northeast of the Burdoin Fire, the Snyder Canyon Fire, which broke out along Brewer Road Wednesday afternoon, continues burning, covering around 52 acres. On Thursday morning, officials said that the Complex Incident Management Team Northwest 13, which is in command of the Burdoin Fire, also assumed command of the Snyder Canyon Fire. Fire officials now confirm this fire has destroyed more than 40 structures. 'There are 44 structures, unofficially, that we were able to identify that were lost in the fire footprint,' Northwest 13 incident commander Brian Gales. One woman, Linda, told KOIN 6 News she watched her neighbors' house in Lyle burn from across the hill. 'Right above that was the Wilson's property; that was a life home for a guy here in town,' she said. With bags packed, Linda says for now she and her husband are staying put despite being some of the dozens under Level 3 'Go Now' evacuation orders. 'It's not devastating to us, but for some many people it is devastating, because it came so fast up Highway 8 they didn't have time,' Linda said. 'A few people did stay and save their homes but a lot were in danger.' From hand crews to engine teams and aviation assets, officials say 900 firefighters are working together to minimize the footprint and damage. There are two Red Cross emergency shelters — one at Grace Baptist Church in White Salmon and the other at the Dalles Middle School. All evacuations for both fires remain in place; evacuation maps for the Burdoin and Snyder Canyon fires are available online. Highway 14 still remains closed in the area of the Burdoin Fire.

Map reveals best and worst places to live for natural disasters
Not all communities face disasters equally. Some are hit harder, recover slower, or are more vulnerable from the start. FEMA's Risk Map ranks every county and Census tract in the U.S. based on three key factors: how likely a natural disaster is, how socially vulnerable the population is, and how resilient the community might be in the aftermath. The map factors in a wide range of natural hazards, including hurricanes, floods, drought, winter storms, extreme heat and cold, lightning, high winds, earthquakes, avalanches, volcanic activity, and more. Worst places to live: California, Florida, and on the coast Looking at the county version of the map, the worst areas to live are California, Florida, or anywhere on the U.S. coast, with a few exceptions. Most of Texas is moderate to high risk, but there are some pockets of low risk. The same goes for Washington, Oregon, and Nevada. Switching to the Census tract view, which divides cities into many individual tracts, tells the story that most areas still have a mixed risk, with some areas safer than others. Best places to live: New England and Ohio Although West Virginia and Wyoming have no counties in a moderate or higher risk index, these states don't look as good when using the Census tract view. Through that lens, most areas west of the Mississippi are mixed, but much of the Northeast quadrant of the country is lower risk, with exceptions on the coast and in some of the mountains. Vermont is the state with the smallest number of tracts in relatively low or low risk, and none are considered moderate. Rhode Island, mainly because of its size, is another relatively low-risk state, with no moderate risk tracts. New Hampshire only had one moderate risk, and Ohio only had two. Massachusetts is mostly low risk, with a few moderate places, if you exclude Martha's Vineyard, which was high risk. While most cities have some areas of risk, Pittsburgh is the lowest-risk major city, with only very low and relatively low risks in the metro area. Charlotte, North Carolina, also has no tracts with moderate or higher risk. Climate change is making disasters worse, more common Billion-dollar disasters are becoming more frequent due to climate change, according to Climate Central. In 2024, there was less than two weeks between disasters, compared to nearly two months in 1981. Risk map may miss recent disasters, other info Remember, this is a long-term index and takes into account all FEMA disaster declarations in history. It doesn't deduct points for, or may not even include, the most recent disasters, such as Hurricane Helene or the Texas floods. Counties affected by those two recent disasters had few disasters in the past and are still listed as low risk. This risk index also doesn't directly take power outages into account, or non-disaster data like crime, home prices, or gas prices. You can use the map to focus on specific types of disasters which is helpful if you're more concerned about certain threats than others. If you're thinking about relocating, compare the risk where you live now to potential new areas by zooming in and exploring the map. Solve the daily Crossword
