This is... insane. And extremely rare. We've only seen temperatures at or above 108 degrees in Portland three other times in our recorded history-- and they all happened in 2021 (June heat wave)
@fox12oregon
This is the first time in the state's history this has happened. I'll have more on the discussion we heard from lawmakers tonight coming up on

Just witnessed the CUTEST homecoming EVER in Inglewood. These Platte River Retriever breeders had to evacuate more than 60 dogs and some horses from their property before their neighborhood flooded. All the animals are safe!

Today, somebody I was interviewing told me thank you. She said she appreciates the job journalists do and believes it’s more important than ever to our democracy. I practically had to hold back tears. Day, week, month made.
Here’s your proof! In case you missed it, West Maple is back open in both directions over the Elkhorn River. Doesn’t look like it sustained any damage.

Anybody else go to the DMV assuming a simple address update won’t involve a new license photo?
Because now I am stuck with this until 2024.

I’m gonna be honest, you guys. I’ve been in a LOT of gas stations because of my job. This is the first one I’ve seen that has BIDETS and HEATED TOILET SEATS. WHAT. (Sapp Bros at Hwy 275 & Hwy 30.) Bravo, Dodge County. 👏🏼😂
Honestly shocked this is still open. Police and troopers monitoring on either side. Hwy 275 heading north just west of Waterloo is down to one lane.. but probably won’t be for long.

After 23 hours of driving, we made it to our new home in Oregon! 💕
Before we could even get our furniture unpacked, we’ve already ran on three different trails and found our neighborhood breakfast spot, because priorities.

I meant to post something yesterday, but I’ve been so overwhelmed. The last 4 yrs at this place have left me humbled & grateful. Reporting takes you to some unbelievable places and lets you meet incredible people. Turns out the best ones were under my same roof. (1/2)
This seems like really weird timing, but maybe this’ll make somebody smile- we picked up the newest member of our family today! Meet Sauvie. She still has to grow into her ears. ❤️😍🥰 Thank you, K9Kare, for everything you do to help these sweet babies find a home! 💕
Not trying to 💩 on Husker game days or whatever, but you can get a LOT of errands done while everybody else is watching the game. Jussayin’.

Met a group of women at LAX that had been friends since college- now they’re in their 60s- heading to Spain to backpack 250 miles together over the next couple of weeks.
I. LOVE. THIS. SO. MUCH. Keep your tribe close and go on epic adventures. 🥾🚀

This is the reality for a lot of homeowners in the Estacada area- relying on themselves, friends, neighbors to put out hotspots around their properties & protect structures that haven’t already burned. Lots of community support. More on

Endlessly proud of this man! 98th at the US Olympic Trials with a time of 2:23:37. Being able to say you’re among the top 100 marathoners in the country- including pro runners- is an incredible feat, especially for somebody who works in training around an 8-5 job. 👏🏽❤️
We had ourselves a DAY. Beyond grateful to make it to the finish line of the Ironman World Championship race in Kona, a dream come true. 🥹

Back to work Wednesday. But first- as many açaí bowls as I can eat in 3 days.
Some of the craziest lightning shots I've seen coming into the newsroom!
First: RAINBOW + LIGHTNING (😮) over NW Salem by Annie Snider. Second: An impressive lightning bolt taken in Tualatin by Amber Snodgrass.
Major porch envy. When the pandemic hit, a Molalla man decided to build his own safe gathering space for friends and family. It’s all decked out (ha!) for the cool and rainy weather, too! Story coming up on

Some sort of demonstration on I-405 SB near Glisan totally locking up the interstate. I see Palestine flags up ahead but that’s all I can make out currently. Avoid I-405 bridge southbound if you can.
@fox12oregon
WOW, look at this incredible capture of the mammatus clouds from yesterday evening! This was taken in Pine Grove, which is just west of Maupin. Thank you, John Pierce, for this amazing shot.
I am so proud of my Hispanic heritage and everything my parents have done to preserve that culture in me. From speaking Spanish & cooking family recipes to trips back to Argentina to spend time with family- it’s a huge part of who I am. 🇦🇷

A trick from your Midwest friend if you’d rather not spend a ton of time scraping layers of ice off your car. Cardboard and probably other materials work well, too!
You know when you simply make eye contact with your dog, and their tail starts wagging? Is there a better, more heartwarming thing in this entire world?
My dad raced a triathlon today- his first ever! He got second. Second overall. I’m still wearing this look of amazement, pride and disbelief on my face.
Gut wrenching. A large crowd gathered outside of LeFlore’s Fashions tonight to honor Army Sgt. Kyle LeFlore, Omaha’s latest homicide victim. His family’s plea coming up on
@KETV
Really cool mammatus clouds over Portland this afternoon! Thanks to Steve Castellano for submitting. We had some pretty heavy thundershowers push through the metro area between 1 and 3 p.m. We saw reports of hail and some lightning strikes around Canby/Molalla.
Here’s West Maple at about 230th St. Officers also turning drivers around on W. Dodge, so it’s getting trickier to head west over the Elkhorn River to get to Waterloo.

In case anyone was curious why I’ve been MIA the past week. Hardest finish line I’ve ever worked for! It’s going to be hard to top this race-cation. 🥹

I don’t even have the words. My heart rate has come down, and for those checking in- I am alive. What. A. Game. Argentinians have a flare to make things dramatic but LO HICIMOS!!!!! Please enjoy the final moments in our household 🥹
Giving the people what they want-- which is more Oso. This time sporting a rain jacket with a hood, because we'll see some light spotty showers tomorrow. You won't need an umbrella, though. And we should see plenty of sun breaks mixed in!
My heart! This couple from Montana had this date picked out for their wedding at Mt. Tabor Park.. and decided the snow storm wasn’t going to stop their little ceremony! CONGRATS to Scott and Lauren! ❤️

experience I’d say less of a marathon, more of a rolling frat party/parade through crowds of adoring fans. This city turns out in a way I’ve never experienced at a race before, and it’s truly magic. Smiled from start to finish.
