First time in ages air quality been good enough to be able to sit out on the deck - had to wash off lots of ash from the loungers before hand though.

A week can make a huge difference to the holiday photos!You're not really selling this holiday destination. I think the Californian tourist board are going to regret giving you the job tbh...
Seriously though, glad it's improving. Fingers crossed it keeps on that way. Stay safe.

Unfortunately we’re unlikely to get much rain until November if season is as normal. Although 2020 isn’t “normal” so cross fingers we do get a storm roll in - but without lightning as that caused at lot of the fires in the first place!When I was in SF the ferry staff told us that it was the first day in months it was clear (albeit that was because of the usual fog), so in some way the guys in the bay area must be used to that view. Such a shame though as it's a beautiful part of the world.
Of course it's a big difference between smoke and fog, my breathing is not the best during normal conditions, I can barely tolerate smoke from small fires tbh so it must be a nightmare. I hope it isn't causing a lot of health problems there. With any luck you'll get a good amount of rain to help - not too much though - don't want to go from one natural disaster to another...![]()

It is more a drizzle than a downpour but for the first time our pollution meter is reading zero![]()

i know, leaving his truck behind, what kind of republican is he... probably escaped in a prius."Oregon Senator - Fred Girod, R-Stayton, who fled to Texas in 2019 to avoid voting on climate change reform bill in Oregon, had his home and truck destroyed by one of our many fires. Fred also abandoned his 3 cats to die in the fire. "
I know Republicans like to care about themselves and no one else but come on.
