We've just started a week or so of solid rain, here in Skagit Valley in the NW corner of Washington State. It's helping to clear the smoke from the air, thank goodness. As we're surrounded by high mountains in our remote area, we've already started having the long power outages from falling trees and slides... common stuff here. Friends in CA and OR are still suffering. I wish there were more we could do to help!
I hope families are being housed. What on earth will be happening with their animal's and the wildlife.

I hope so too. Our wildlife here reacted pretty strongly to the smoke. The birds were eerily quiet. A 3 year old black bear spent lots of time high up in a cedar several meters from my house. He seemed so afraid. It's heartbreaking. During our last local fire in '18, the wildlife moved in a panic.
No I haven't heard anything. But, I don't have a satellite dish, so I don't watch television - just some things on YouTube. My desire for some form of sanity during these dark times keeps me from wanting a tele.
Meanwhile it is barely mentioned over here deeply upset our gov has offered no help, has any other country offered any services at all?
Where do you live?Now you'll know I am a dinosaur, I remember clear blue skies with white fluffy clouds and when the clouds turned dark we had a storm due. A red sky only happened when the next day was going to be a beautiful one "Red sky at night, Shepherds delight".
Young people have never experienced these wonders, and many people my age and older can't even remember.
