Watched the lightning show over the weekend. Never seen so much activity. Worse than a metal drummer with two kicks!

All I can say is, I saw these fires coming. You just can't believe the number of strikes we were having - somebody said it was a fifty-year storm. So now we've got over 800 of these suckers burning. A couple of the big complex fires right up here. Whoo hoo, sure is fun.

The smoke is pretty bad this fire season, usually not as heavy. Used to love the smell of woodsmoke when I was a country kid, but now it's just pissing me off. It gets in to everything, made its way through the AC, so that's no good, got it in the car, that's no good.

Visibility is about 1/2 mile at best.

Ugh!!!

Yikes! That sucks ... weird, we've got almost nothing going on down here. (I'm NOT complaining!)

Hope your home is in no danger!

Nah, we're ok in the city, Mud.

Just the smoke is so damned nasty and we had ash falling late yesterday afternoon - we tend to get a couple of wildfires in the summer up here but not 100s - crazy.

Lot's of sore throats, coughing, etc. The north end of the valley is like a bowl - inversion layer and all that, so the smoke is trapped until the wind picks up again.

Cleared out a bit this morning on the way to work. I could see where the fires are in the mountains. Not good.
