With a lot of the province on fire and let's face it the western north America there is bound to be smoke! Some people joke that we are in the smokanagan! The smoke gives the sun and moon a creepy red glow and the constant grey is kinda nightmarish. I have hosed off my suv a few times and there is a layer of fine ash on it. It is now the worst fire season on record. It smacks of silent Hill without the creepy ghouls.
That being said I've noticed that some people around here are trying to get the focus back on the wild fires and off of the devastation in Texas. This is NOT as bad as a freaking hurricane. BC has lost 71 homes and a total off 300 buildings at last count. There has been no loss of life. Yes 12000 people are currently evacuated and I can't even fathom how scarey that is. It isn't as bad. The hurricane in Texas has claimed 100,000 homes either damaged or destroyed. I'm not sure how many businesses and 70 people have died. 70 people. It makes me sad that people are so selfish.
Anyhow here is a picture to compare last summer to today!
