The Fires This Time
This morning's local paper of record states that more than 14,000 firefighters are battling 29 fires from San Diego to the Oregon border, according to the California Department of Fires and Forestry Protection.
I am very fortunate that none will present any danger to me other than very unhealthy air quality due to the smoke and ash. Parts of California, and Oregon, have an Air Quality Index (AQI) of over 600, exceeding the scale’s maximum value of 500 and reaching unprecedented levels in the United States. Needless to say that is bad. However, this has certainly created some spectacular displays in our skies.
