Still very smokey here. Schools closed. Masks sold out. Fires still burning both north and south of here. Hoping for rain this week. Looks like Tuesday or Wednesday. Should clean up air and finish off fires hopefully. Colors change as the sunsets. From blue gray with oranges to brown with yellow. But we are all ready for this to be over.

I am fortunate to be safe and just inconvenienced. My prayers go out to those directly affected by the fires and those responders on scene.

I can’t even imagine being in the fires. Glad they have not touched you!

That is so terrifying. Do you have enough masks on hand? How long does a mask last?

It is just icky where I live not really dangerous. We don't have masks so have been staying inside more. Masks last until they are plugged up, until they become hard to breathe through. Which is many days unless they get wet or something.

Beautiful sunrise! The fire has been going on for a while, and yes, my prayers go to those who are affected..It's devastating.

Yes the smoke really makes the sky pretty. Its one of those things that you know isn't good but still it makes for a lot of color.

I'm following this news, it's a big disaster: ( . Stay as safe as possible, @steven-patrick
