I'm really happy to hear the fires are out and the air is clearing up!  cheerleading.gif

Yeah, I'm pretty sure any threat of local fires will be gone after this week. It's rained pretty hard a few times already.

Glad your air is clear.  The rain will clean the air and give everything a nice soak.

I'm happy to say the smoke completely went away 2 days ago.

With that said, the clouds have rolled in and now going to get rain day/night for a week straight. I'll take that over smoke any day though...

Flooding is now occurring in the south and southeast.  Wouldn't it be great if we could direct all that rain over to the west?

That would be nice! If the smoke continues, I'll have to run my a/c in attempt to filter some of it out.

If only it were that simple. Because so many of these fires are taking place in the mountains, too much rain will cause flooding and mudslides here.
Ok, then we'll dole it out in measured amounts to prevent that, squelch the fires, enough to have new growth and fill the reservoirs.  It will rain every night in the needed amount from 2 am to 5 am.

The weather advisory was updated a few hours ago and looks like this area will be dealing with heavy smoke until Saturday now ...

I really hope they can get it under control soon.

This area just got smoke from these fires the first time this year. It's pretty bad ...

Last count there are 95 fires burning the west coast. It's been more than a week that we've had hazy skies and ash falling. I saw a satellite image that really showed the smoke... it looked like the entire west coast was gone. So weird.

The smoke is so bad now it looks post apocalyptic outside.  panic button.gif

My heart goes out to all those affected, it must be so heartbreaking! I could just cry.

But instead I'll send my prayers in the place of each teardrop of mine and theirs!

Beautiful sentiment, friend! I am sure they need all the prayers they can get, and will appreciate everyone of them.

The news this morning showed all the towns just wiped off the map in Calif, Oreg., Ariz.  I wanted to cry.

I can't imagine what it's like for them, but from my house looking south we can see billows of smoke from the different fires in the areas... we can see them to the south east, to the south west, and some days it's so hazy here you'd think it was a grey winter day. It's truly tragic.
