Born of fire Twitter’s best scanner/ham radio operators, WatchDuty app is really well designed and includes perimeter maps, update feeds and links to cameras. Multiple overlays show evacuations, electrical outages and more. It covers the entire US West Coast as far east as Texas and Montana.

As an aside, keeping pressure like this on the Alito's and Thomas's of the world is so important. We may be pissed that our elected officials aren't doing enough to push back, but reporting like this is a vital public service. Keep up the good work.

In 1962, in a move that boggles the mind today, US state and federal officials dumped 10s of 1000s of gallons of fish poison into the basin of the Green River in Wyoming & Colorado.
