#Fire Season 2021

Hi Jan! So are you the red asterisk on the other side of the river? Hopefully that alone will provide some firebreak. Pretty scary, and the air for miles is unbreathable, right? So awesome how you included the maps w their meanings. I like the wooden deer and moose and the falling red maple leaves. 🍁 I'll have to start being attentive to this, we never hear about it in Hawaii.

Yes, the red asterisk represents the approximate location of our house. The body of water is a lake, although a skinny one. It's 50 miles long and about 2-3 miles wide, depending where you're looking at it. Our air has been smoky pretty much since the beginning of July. We've only had a handful of days where particulate matter is less than 50 ppm. We're staying inside as much as we can, which is a shame...

So sorry about the fires in your part of the world, Jan. Beautiful page about it. Here in Sweden we don't have fires but we've had heavy rains a couple of days. Some cities are totally flooded.
