My leukemia's back.

I'm using my Nebulizer, my fast acting inhaler and my once a day inhaler because of all the smoke in the air, and you're sure a lot closer to the fires than we are to the ones going on around here. Stay safe!!

Thanks for the well wishes!

I am staying away from the fires and keeping inside as much as possible.

The smoke is getting old fast though

I am staying in as much as possible! The wind is supposed to start blowing the smoke away from us today so we should be better tomorrow.

My DW is in Missouri until Thursday. Will need her inhaler for sure when she is home.

Saw in the news that the smoke from Medicino is reaching Utah! Can't imagine being there so close. Hoping it is better for you by tomorrow.

Good morning Team Rachel

I was reading something about water restrictions there, and the governor not lifting them to allow the use of the extra water needed to put out the fires. Not sure how much of it is true, but if that's the case, you guys need a new governor come election time.

My breathing has been crappy lately. No fires here, but I think the heat is taking a toll. so sorry for you folks in fire zones.

There is an advisory to stay indoors this week.

We are not too bad right now. Yesterday was unhealthy though. This is the current air quality

Woodland is in the yellow

So sorry for those of you suffering from the smoke, and ash. Yes, it's horrible. We too have had some pretty big fires through the years. The smoke can be difficult to deal with, especially if there are no winds to help dissipate the smoke.

All the water here is from the lakes and rivers. The helicopters scoop the water in buckets and dump the water on the fires. There are no restrictions.

Those that come up with the water not released thing do not know what California is like. The problem is the dead and completely dried out conditions here. The Ranch fire in the Mendocino Forrest jumped three or four fire barriers yesterday. High winds and 80ft flames sent embers for miles right over the fire breaks.

Another thing that causes problems is the coast range mountains being a young mountain range which equals very steep slopes.

None of this is the Government fault. It is terrible when blame the victim happens.

I agree Ron. And once a false statement is made it gets repeated as fact without fact checking then becomes a "fact" in the minds many people. And they repeat it as such and it snowballs.

Much of CA is sort of screwed weather wise. Long periods without rain which make fires possible then it rains enough to get the brush growing only to have no rain and it dries out, ready for the next spark. Doesn't happen in places that usually get a reasonable amount of rain through the year, and pretty much every year.
