Yeah, I have to work and today I was all over the place – ash was raining everywhere and ugh I smell so bad even inside!!! I am showering shortly! I had my daughter open door for me tonight cause I had a lot in my hands … and she says … why is the sky like that? Is there a fire 🤨😄 she got to be inside all day. I had my neighbors ready to grab her just in case 😮😳
I am inside for night now… but my eyes still sting!! And my hair and clothes just wreak of smoke!! So gross!!!
I knew was going to be a bad fire season – we had rain late into spring season – and these hot ass temps that just won’t quit!! I knew would be bad … and here comes the power loss – watch!!

I just read that a pilot died when his helicopter crashed fighting the Western Fresno fire. Also, smoke/ash is expected to blanket Tahoe tomorrow.

I saw that!! The crash, and the pilot died – and it started another fire 😮
Yeah this entire area being blanketed by ash!! Is seriously like it’s snowing!! 😮😳 crazy… that I have NEVER seen like this before!
When I went to my car this morning… you could smell smoke, and I didn’t really notice the ash yet… until I got to my car and was covered!! I was like what the hell is this??? And I blew at it and then I realized was ash… the ash didn’t really start raining down until this afternoon!! But the smoke has been here!!
Sacramento not too bad – they have smoke and ash, but not like where I am!!
Where I am is a million times worse than Sacramento – I am like around an hour or so away from Sacramento … I am closer to that grass valley fire… but we have that Vacaville fire which the smoke coming this way… that one is HUGE! And Napa too!! All that smoke and ash from every direction coming this way!!

A bunch of the fires up there are actually multiple fires, given a single name, that were started by lightning.
We had mega fires for the last few years so hopefully (knock on wood) there isn’t enough tinder to sustain them this year.

Yes!!! There is a TON!! Is all on fire up here!!! Yeah that lightening just lit it up!! 😮
I know some have died and many houses and things lost. That breaks my heart with all this!! That paradise fire sticks in my mind… that fire killed almost that entire town… I had friends there … after the fire they didn’t want to go back and rebuild – they were done!
And the stories that came out of there were awful… my police and fire from here went up to help during that … and down in marysville and Sacramento – you had a massive outpouring of support and donations

According to this interactive California fire map, we currently have 6 active fires and 1 that is contained. All are far from me and thth smoke/ash is being kept away by the weather (which is expected to remain mildly hot & extremely humid for at least 2 more weeks):

Did you get your bedroom ac going? Have you been using it?

Yeah. I set it for 80 and it got there long after the outside air got that cool. The HUGE benefit is the reduced humidity!! Toonces is freaked out by the sound and hiding in another room. The rest of the kitties come and go.
Instead of helping me get motivated to do homework, it’s made me exhausted… I assume it’s due to relief. But, hey, maybe that means I’ll fall asleep before 8am, wake before 1pm, and actually DO SOMETHING tomorrow. Or maybe it won’t.

I am glad you have some relief even if isn’t the greatest.
I hope you don’t exhaust too much!! That heat will do that – completely drains you!!!

I’ve been within .5 miles of an active wildfire… when I worked in Thousand Oaks. Sooo scary to watch it racing, at least 50mph across the hill across the street. Fortunately, the back of our office property was where the water dropping copters refilled (from a big pipe). They had 8 copters dropping water and we were never in any real danger.

We have had fires here, but not raging – they usually handle them quickly … but I have never been in the country area before – was always in town. Not in the foothills. I never really had to think or worry about before.
I have also seen a raging fire … I saw the paradise fire coming up over the hill when I was visiting a friend in Chico 😳😮 it moves very fast . Fire is not something to mess with
I do have friends that supposably say they refuse to leave… they will stand and fight the fire and protect their home – I will leave … I don’t want to mess with life and death like that.
