California Burning
Here in Sonoma County, Northern California, there are 3 major wildland fires
burning in the area. This is what the morning light looked like, out my back door
at 9am: a dull reddish smoke haze, thanks to a prolonged temperature inversion.

Here's another photo, from this mornings edition of the Santa Rosa

Same thing in the Central Valley area. With falling ash it looks like a post apocalyptic movie scene.
It was dark enough this afternoon (4:30) that my night headlights turned on. I really limit any time outdoors to keep my eyes from burning. The air quality is crazy bad.rolodave and markbignosekelly like this.O'Toole's commentary on Murphy's Law: Murphy was an optimist.

Be safe guys. Fires are.scary stuff. One year we had snow falling if falling ash. At least we have a fair amount of water here to slow it down. Prayers your way.

Hopefully they can get on top of it quickly.
I can remember the beginning of this year when most of our east coast was in flames for around 3 months.
This extreme weather sucks.The white gleam of swords, not the black ink of books, clears doubts and uncertainties and bleak outlooks.

I saw a map last night of all the fires burning in the western US—it’s crazy. 2020 is the gift that keeps on giving. Good luck and stay safe.

A serial arsonist?
I wonder how many of these fires were set by crazy people. You do have to discount the gender reveaL kooks.If you don't care where you are, you are not lost.
