To be able to breathe again (too much fire and smoke here)

@Nimbus I'm fine.
I don't know how much you've heard about our fires over there. The 'Camp Fire' (that's the big and most deadly one in northern california) is roughly 50 km NNW of here. But the smoke is everywhere! It's dark and gloomy day here. One would think it was just cloudy and foggy out. However, satellite photos show that it's all smoke. We get an occasional brief glimpse of the sun, but it's only faint dark orange disk.

@Nimbus Nowhere to go. If the (Code Red) call comes, I'll just grab the pets and, if tiem, other "essential" things, and head south (if possible). I don't want to be caught in none of these canyons during a fire.
This town is much like Paradise (the town that was destroyed) - houses nestled in the forest with narrow, winding one-lane roads (although we do have a short "freeway" that goes through the center of town). You can imagine how terrified people around here are. Many folks here knew people or had relatives in Paradise.

Oh my!
That's awful :(
Make plans now just in case!
I hope you have insurance cover for it all.
