its terrible . this is from San Francisco, my older brother lives out there but recently been telecommuting from Sonoma. This looks like its out of Blade Runner.
:eek:
The whole west coast is on fire.
Real time pic: 11:21am today in front of the house. That's all smoke. No clouds.

Many of my friends and co-workers have been evacuated from their homes. Many businesses are closed due to the horrible air quality. No immediate threat here where we are, but there are fires burning out of control less than 30mi to the NE and SE of here.
Huge parts of Sonoma were levelled by wildfires last year, was your brother out here then, Mark?
thats so crazy.
No, where they are is and was spared. so far.
The other day, Wednesday maybe(?) on the Creek Fire (down by Fresno CA) it was as dark as midnight at 2pm with thunder rolling overhead. CO detectors blaring inside of structures. Never seen anything like that before.
That's crazy.
It's been smoky here all week with an orange sun. Even some ash falling and I'm 35mi & 60mi miles from the two nearest fires
Global warming is no joke.
It's bad here in Ukiah (about 100 miles N of San Francisco). 2 Wheelers are safely tucked away away from the ash.
Come to New England. Fresh air from all the trees that surrounds us. :)
That's quite an invitation! Is it just for that one member, or everyone on the west coast? :devil:

Oh, we have plenty of trees here in Oregon too.
Problem is, they're currently all on fire.

Regardless, come to New England.
Been there.
I had a GF from Merrimack NH long ago. Spent some time in Boston, NH, VT, Maine, etc.
I know New England is chill, but I'm a west coast kid, and just couldn't hang with the east coast vibe. Way too many people, all in too much hurry.
Real time reading, twice as bad as it was before ☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️

I completely understand. I have a west coast heart and an east coast mentality. We are always in a hurry over here. Geez, things escalated quickly, hope you're safe and alright.
Less than a hundred miles North of Portland it's better; always hazy and it's like my springtime allergies are back. Jim, if it gets scary there come on up. We'll make room for y'all, and that includes your bikes!
It's a great time to ride a two stroke was out yesterday not a single complaint :celebrate:
All that smoke that looks like it is going out to sea is getting dumped back on me in Vancouver Canada
Rained here last night, I hope it helped
Nope, it would have to be a monsoon to put a dent in this.
You can see the smoke way up in the atmosphere here in NY
Rodney called it; rained here all night and part of the morning, but still smoky. Maybe smells a little better.

Now you can smell it. :eek:
It smells like a campfire here.
I've been wearing an N95 whenever outside for the past week.
I went on a ride this AM and it reeked of campfire but it was only a section of my town

The smoke certainly isnt stopping at the border, Its made it all the way to Europe now.
FYI British Columbia fire stats - 18 fires in the last 7 days
3 in the last 2 days.
Things are burning here as well, not just as big. And nothing as fancy as a gender reveal as the cause.
understanding the data helps.

F'!!!! another round of horrible smoke here in the bay area from fire up in Napa. And it was over a 100 degrees to boot. :bang: :bang:
Yup!
Were getting the smoke up here again too.
:( I was really enjoying the clear skies
