I am 100 miles south of this mess, the air has been crap for a week.
You could smell wood smoke on Monday & Tuesday.
I got burned out in 89, it’s rough on a person.
I read the average age of the dead is 79 years.
Fire does not care who you voted for.
I’m 75 miles SSW down on the peninsula. The smoke was really bad Tuesday or Wednesday - visibility was probably below a half mile. It’s good now. No matter how bad it was here, I always remind myself what it’s like to be in Napa, Sonoma or Lake Counties facing disaster.
I read about the average age, too. That is so shocking and sad — people who have no communications, no loved ones nearby to assist, and often no transportation. Words fail me thinking about what they faced in such circumstances.
