Terrible Smoke in Albany

 The air is so bad in Albany this morning.  It's not breathable air.


But wait.....




It's mostly good old Oregon fog!!!  Full of fire smothering moisture!

YAHOO!!!!

  1. WONDERFUL news.
    I have been worrying about you, about Snow and about several other bloggers in the area. I hope there is sufficient moisture to bring those fires firmly under control.

    1. Hope soon skies will clear. The fires, they say, will likely burn at least til the end of October, most of them, to some degree.

  2. The air in my house is at its gagging worst today (particulate levels are currently over 500), so I'm wondering if your moisture is from dew. I've been wondering how you're doing, and hoping that your distance from the massive Holiday Farm Fire (Holiday Farm is--or was--a Christmas Tree farm) has provided you with better conditions.

    1. We had what the sheriffs office call good old smog, mix of fog and smoke and ash, this morning, but it deteriorated into smoke and ash quickly. My brother looked up Albany's air quality and said it was somewhere over 400 when we talked. I've been mostly just sleeping inside, not going out. I have a couple box fans with hepa filters and fortunately had them going months ago here, to help with dust and cat hair.

    1. Well it hasn't ended. Air quality was extremely bad today, so bad I never left my place. Am hoping tomorrow maybe the smoke will move out some. The fires are no longer advancing towards cities, at least, but many are still at zero percent containment.

  4. I'm doing a happy dance in your honor.
