Wow. We get smoke really high up, and a smell of smoke in teh air in the Portland/Vancouver area... but Wow.

I am guessing the photo is of the Rogue River?

I still haven't gone to the (Clumbia) Gorge after last year's fires... I just haven't had the heart to see what was lost.

@Sheannutt I've beren told that you can buy tickets to ride the mail boat that goes up to Rogue River. Might not be a good time now with the fires, but I imagine it would be a very scenic ride.

It's pretty bad here in the Puget Sound area, but not nearly that severe. Yikes!

That is amazing in a really bad way.

@Sheannutt Do you stay inside as much as you can?

I live at the base of Mt. Diablo and I have barely seen it for weeks.

Just as bad here with over 500 fires burning in my province alone.

Photo is 9:10 a.m. Aug. 17th.

@Sheannutt Our whole city was evacuated last year, & we we're gone 18 days. Now were on edge again this year.

We have a similar situation in Idaho. It is on some days unhealthy for me to be out side.

@Sheannutt I know the feeling all to well.

I'm visiting Seattle right now. It isn't that bad but it is growing annoying and making people sick. Quite a number of people are wearing masks. Also, at the hostel someone stuck a fan in a downstairs kitchen window and sitting there until told to get it out because it was sucking in smoke. Walking around reminds me of standing at the door of a smoking bar; the smell is slowly cloeing your way.

I've been in almost that bad. I don't envy you. Take care.

I hope that you are safe. Last October here in Santa Rosa wind gusts up to 70mph caused a firestorm that was very frightening. I was awake for 36 hours running on adrenaline. This year seems like a repeat of last year, the air has been Smokey for at least a month.
