San Jose right now. Eerie yellow tint at 820 AM like the Twilight Zone. Smoke. Can smell the Garlic from Gilroy over the smoke.

You all wonder why everything is on fire dang water your yard!!!

I know I know ,just had to say it !
 
We're lucky here, no fires within 25 miles.. But the smoke an ash is unreal.... This morning there was close to 1/4" of ash covering everything.... The roads had a post-apocalyptic event look about them...

I changed the whole house electronic air filter a few weeks ago after the worst of the last round of fires passed... The filter media is huge & is supposed to typically last a year.... This morning I had a low flow warning on the control panel.... The filter was plugged with ash... This is from inside a closed house... Crazy....
 
Dodged the firey bullet yesterday right about noon time.....flames got about 6 feet from the NW corner of our warehouse here. The north wall of the warehouse is ab-butted up against the south embankment of the off-ramp from I-5 north to eastbound WA Hi-way 512....

I could smell the smoke coming way before the flames got here. I stood at the NW corner of the WH and put as much water down on the embankment as I could before the FD got here. The smoke was so thick, I literally couldn't see my hand in front of my face....but I could see the flames cresting the top of the embankment, so I kept right on with the water. A pumper truck in the lot next door kept me hosed down at the corner of the WH while I was doing what I could.....A few minutes after the flames crested the top, a suited-up fireman came into the smoke cloud and told me "Sir....it's time for you to leave...NOW!!!!" So I did......

Thankfully, no damage was done to the warehouse and nobody was injured.

KUDOS TO CENTRAL PIERCE AND WEST PIERCE FIRE DEPARTMENTS!!!!! They got the fire COMPLETELY put out!

No kids on your block will make any pocket money cutting that lawn. :lol:

The neighbors kid gets it in the winter with a shovel! He's got it bad enough with his old man's jungle backyard.
