AQI over 500...

[UncleDave]

River and Dixie fire smoke converged.....

With air like that, I wouldn't need to buy cigarettes anymore. I'd just go outside!

Very little activity left in the River fire here. We are choking in smoke from the Dixie and other fires to the north.
AQI 464! The worst AQI I have ever experienced here.

It looks like Idaho is on fire if you look at todays fire map.

That downtown Grass Valley yesterday and the view from LItton Drive today.

This is something really different......

Hopefully it rains soon on those fires.

Oh Yes, the first photo looks like the plume when the River fire exploded to 2000+ acres in about 5 hours!
Amazing they were able to tame that so quickly, with the help of diminishing winds overnight.
The Dixie fire grew by 71,000 acres just last night alone! And that is only counting the eastern section.
Northern winds have brought the smoke our way early this morning. Should clear out later tomorrow... Hopefully.
Windows are closed and running a HEPA filter to cope with this.

They are calling the Dixie fire the 3rd largest in CA history.
I hate fires.

California burns every year. Then comes the rains and the mudslides.

 

[G.Frost]

Add record drought and record heat to the mix for this year. I hope we get significant rains this coming winter...!

I'm working in Reno for Hot August Nights, pretty ugly here too. California Car Dusters are earning their keep among the crowd.

California / the west is either drought or flood.

There were approximately 50 of these setups scattered all over the building and they all looked like this by the next morning,

They absolutely work and the smoke smell was gone.

 

[JeffKeryk]

Smokey around here. Always hurts my eyes.
And I'm in the South Bay...
