Smoky Skies

Wind and fires combined on Monday to create surreal weather.
The morning started beautifully, and then the ominous cloud of smoke arrived.
The wind and smoke and dust created near blackout conditions (which aren't accurately portrayed in this photo). Street lights were on and it looked like 9pm outside. It was scary for us for awhile.
The smoke cleared up a bit that evening, but then returned for more than a week. The skies and air were deemed 'hazardous'. Fires raged across the PNW in the worst firestorms in years. It was just another apocalyptic reminder of the sadness of 2020.
As a result of the terrible air, kids were trapped indoors for several days. Things got weird...
