I definitely do not miss the fires in California. Selling the family cabin in Big Bear was painful, but also relieved a great deal of stress during fire season.

The smoke has overtaken Palm Springs, where I live. Picture from yesterday when things weren't so bad.

Ah that shitty little PS mall. Haven't been there in a while (I'm out in the dirty D). This was my view yesterday. ...well, and today too.
I have an awesome video too from when it was first rolling in. I was almost directly under the border, so one side is all sunshine and blue skies, then I turn around and it looks like the fucking apocalypse.

Haha! This was at Camelot theater.
Yes!! That's what I told my coworkers - it's freaking Doom's Day. Today everything is eerily red.

Dammit California! Stop trying to be a wasteland!

Air quality in my area topped off at 187 today. It is really nasty.

I live in the SW and we do get fires here but it has been very rainy this year so we won't have too much of a problem. The first full summer I was here I looked out my balcony door and the mountain near me was on fire. It freaked me out.

I am 25 miles or so from the fire and the air is pretty acrid in these parts.

I'm about the same distance. It's nothing but smokey skies as far as the eye can see for me.

You have my sympathies fellow IE-er.

Me too! A friend from Australia is visiting just for a week, and the temperatures of 115F in Palm Springs coupled with all the smoke are less than ideal scenarios :(

I just got back from Palm Springs. It was ungodly hot and the sky isn't showing any blue at all. D: Yukky.
