1st flight since Paradise fire started. Smokey unhealthy in SF Bay Area.

This was my first flight since the wildfire in Paradise California started. The air some 150 miles away in the SF Bay Area is still smokey and listed as sometimes hazardous to unhealthy. I have been wearing a mask for days but feel guilty complaining about it after what the poor people of Paradise have gone through. The area is expecting its first rainfall of the season in a day or so which they expect will trigger landslides. There is no winning right now for the people of Paradise whose town was completely burnt down.

Nice video, and certainly shows the smoke and health hazards, even though far from the fire area.

It has been really bad but is starting to clear up. Tomorrow we are expecting rain finally and that should be the end of it. I feel terrible for all the people in Paradise who lost everything. A former coworker had two homes in that area and both burn down.
