The air is thick and white where I live.
Other parts of Oregon are yellow and orange – like San Francisco.
I doubt there is any blue sky that can be seen on the entire west coast.
Forget COVID. Forget politics and presidential candidates. People have lost their homes in more way than one. They’ve either been burnt to the ground or criminals have come to ransack and destroy their houses in other ways. Aside from material possessions which can be replaced are sentiments that are lost.
I was watching abc news that provided the following:
I remember the air quality in 2017 not being so great – and according to this chart 2018 was even worse and 2020 is the worst year yet. I had heard about how bad it was but did not share in bad air quality until after Labor Day. I feel blessed that this is the worse it has gotten for me personally as much of the rest of the state suffers with an air quality more hazardous than ours. And it is hazardous than ours.
This hazardous air quality did not exist for us until after Labor Day and then descended quickly.
They had set up for an evacuation for those that live in Glide – only that became hazardous as well. Now they are at the Douglas Fair Grounds. There has been such a great out pour of generosity to those who have been evacuated and don’t know if they will even be able to return to once was their. community. Neighborhood are gone – just as neighborhoods have been destroyed by Hurricane Laura.
Bizarre whether in
Wyoming too – though I don’t know if anyone has had to evacuate due to an early
snow.
