Restrictions In Effect At Area Wildernesses
With continuing extreme temperatures and drying vegetation at higher elevations, the Deschutes National Forest in coordination with the Willamette National Forest will implement public use restrictions within five wildernesses beginning tomorrow morning.
Effective 12:01 a.m. Friday, July 2, open fires, including wood stoves and charcoal briquette fires, will be prohibited in all designated Wildernesses on the Deschutes National Forest. These wildernesses include the Mt. Jefferson, Mt. Washington, Three Sisters, Diamond Peak and Mt. Thielsen. Under the public use restrictions, smoking also is prohibited unless in an area at least three feet in diameter that is barren or cleared of all flammable material. These public use restrictions are added to those that began last Friday on the Deschutes National Forest, which had excepted these wildernesses.
As temps, fire danger rise, Forest Service, BLM, ODF enact C O campfire, other public use restrictions

5.2 quake 10 Mar 12:07 am (GMT +1)
A shallow magnitude 5.2 earthquake was reported after midnight near Lambaréné, Moyen-Ogooué, Gabon.
According to the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ), the quake hit on Wednesday 10 March 2021 at 12:07 am local time at a shallow depth of 10 km. Shallow earthquakes are felt more strongly than deeper ones as they are closer to the surface. The exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth of the quake might be revised within the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their report.
Our monitoring service identified a second report from the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) which listed the quake at magnitude 5.4.
