This morning we found everything covered in a thin layer of ash. The Eagle Creek fire is feed by the strong winds. Although we are miles away from the fire, we can feel it in the air. Ash particles felt as if it was an early snow, but the temperature is in the hundreds (F). It is really bad and we can feel it the air quality. Just check out the color of the sky on these two pictures taken at the same location before and after (and these are not clouds). Let’s hope the firefighters can extinguish the fire rapidly…
