I noticed this evening around 4 something while looking south a cloud of haze. I knew it had to have been from the fires near Santa Cruz. Looking
North also there was a bit of a haze as well.
I checked the satellite imagery and saw it coming. Now there's a purplish gray haze while looking outside at the direction of the sun setting. So
those who are here in the SF bay area, if your wondering why the sky looks weird it's because of the fires. Here is a 48 hour loop of the smoke: California/Nevada Loop
It also is looking like the smoke is causing it's own weather system. Like when a volcano goes off?
This is the SSD Fire Detection Program which shows the smoke coverage. You can zoom in to the
area to see it.
I thought that bloody mess in the skies had something to do with Friday the 13th! There is nothing like a nice orangey sunset and brown, yucky clouds
on that warm evening.
Wow, thanks for sharing those links hoppy. Hoping the smell has subsided for you. I found that if you place a fan in front of the window in the
opposite direction, with the wind blowing inside, it helps suck out heat and odors.
