Californian Fires

Trust you guys out west are staying safe.
My lad recently got married and is moving to Northern Idaho,
They were staying in the Felton area (near Santa Cruz) and were told to evacuate, so his moving plans were accelerated.

It's like full-time stinky fog.

Talked to my Sister last night, she's in Sacramento and taking care of our Mom out there. She said the air is a bit thick out her way, but it's mostly West and South of her. She was out camping over the weekend and noted that one could sense the change in air quality, but that is probably a regular occurrence given the wind patterns in that area.

We (Montana) have been getting smoke fro CA fires for several days. They claim the air flows will change tomorrow and skies will clear.

Saw an article this morning showing a giant cloud of smoke over western Kansas.

Still pretty nasty here. They call it "unhealthy air quality". However, the smoke seems to have knocked the temps down a bit. We basically have fires to the East and West of us. So getting out of town isn't much of an option either!

I am about 20 miles west of Sacramento. It has been overcast with smoke for about 2 weeks. Ash is floating down some days, though not too bad. Like Dave said, I think it has helped knock down the temps. We were getting hammered with a heat spell for our area.

Hope everyone is safe out there! Worked in the Bronx as a fireman and used to chuckle when taking a shower at home wife would ask if I smell smoke? It clung to the hair and stash, only after a few showers it would dissipate. Hope there is some kind of weather relief for inhabitants and fire fighters out there!

Not good if you like to breath, and now we are getting the monsoonal flow with the 100*+ heat. I'm Southern California so not as bad on the smoke as the north, but it gets blown around such that we just have very hazy days.

We have our own fires causing air problems but the California smoke is overrunnning us.
That's the real reason they put all those windmills up in Banning Pass and Palm Springs so they could blow all their smoke over to AZ........pretty devious.

Take care guys. From what we see this end it doesn't look good.
Damn you guys are getting hammered in more ways than anyone would wish.

Thinking of you all.

Our governor isn't smart enough to pull that off. He's busy with tunnels and trains.
