    The sky color in the bay area this morning is otherworldly - like looking through a deep orange filter:


    Taken at 0930 this morning. Sunrise was at 0647.

    Down here it's been something like that, with slight variations from dark yellow to medium orange, for quite a few days. We're many tens of miles from the nearest fires, but wind has been light and in the wrong directions. Air quality index varies from low 60s to near 300. I don't expect much improvement until high pressure dominating the west breaks down. Probably not before next month.

    Yesterday was pretty bad up here in BC, with lots of smoke from California and Washington. Today is better. Our fire season has been quite tame compared to previous summers...fingers crossed!

    It's now noon and the roosters just started crowing, and the porch cats woke up looking for breakfast. Ashfall over everything. I spent most of the morning filing a missing hiker report regarding my friends, who have been out 10 days now. But the various agencies are overwhelmed with unaccounted for backpackers right now.

    Thanks Roger. The scale of this is unprecedented, but just a harbinger of things to come. There are over 13 million dead pines in Sierra Natl Forest alone. But the population density is low. What they are really worried about next is something like this occurring in Tahoe NF, which not only has lots of dead pines, but way more people. As far as my friends go, there are mutual friends digging up digital pictures of them right now, in case someone has encountered them. The helicopters can't begin to search for tents in the high country until they've caught up with search and rescue in the burning forest areas below, and until smoke itself clears up somewhat.
