Smoke gets in your eyes
Comrades:
Here's a picture of the sunrise this morning from my driveway. No filter or clouds; that's the sun, not the moon, through the smoke haze. The nearest big fire is in southern Arizona about 200 miles west northwest from here. And the air smells of smoke. I've lived here a very long time and never seen anything like this before.

1) Skies over my suburb of Portland, Oregon, on Thursday morning.
2) Air quality reading last night. Oregon Rocketry cancelled its big annual launch down in Sheridan. Fire hazard would have been minimal, BUT the surrounding area has had fires (including both of the routes I would take down there) and the air quality is dismal. Oh my . . . I just looked at the readings for Sheridan. That picture 3).

Unless it gets canceled I’m going to a job in Madera, CA next week. VERY close to the Creek Fire. —-not looking forward to it.

The look out over Stefan's porch looks fairly similar to what we see looking out our windows today a little south of Seattle. Very disquieting.

It's no better north of Seattle - it's so dark from smoke that it looks like it's about to rain... Eight years ago, I was in Pueblo, CO working on the old family homestead when they had big fires just north of Colorado Springs (~50 miles north) and at the Royal Gorge (~50 miles west). The prevailing winds there tend to be from the North and West so the smoke was sometimes really bad - as in the house across the street was just a smudge. But this is far and away the worst I've seen around here. |

Yeah, it's crazy...I was in Phoenix all week and it was really hazy, everybody saying it was California fires. Now I'm back home in OK, and it's hazy here! Looking at sat image from windy.com https://www.windy.com/-Satellite-sa...8.172,-95.229,5 it is pretty clear why!
