This is the worst year for fires I have ever witnessed in my state, the above picture is my city's skyline as a result of all the smoke from the area being blown in by winds. This was yesterday.

Fortunately the smoke in the area has cleared out but my goodness yesterday was awful! I couldn't get ANY reception at all on my phone and the smoke gave me a migraine :cry: The air quality was listed as hazardous to all.

Whenever I heard about the fires in Washington, I thought about you.

Hope those fires get taken care of soon!

Thanks for thinking of me.

Fortunately Spokane was not under any evacuation orders, unlike those near the Twisp fire (that one is really bad). The smoke yesterday was just really awful. Today the area is much clearer and I can work outside again. The fires are still raging again. I also hope they are taken care of soon and no more fire fighters die as a result of them. The fires here are a natural part of the ecosystem but this is dangerous.

Even here in Bremerton the smoke drifted in. This is very much the worse fire season the state has ever had.
