| 8/20/18 The smoky sun at 7:20 p.m. |
The
air quality in the Puget Sound region has now cranked up to the “very unhealthy” and “hazardous” level.
Coming home yesterday from a short visit to the Twin Cities, which were also hazy
from Canadian wildfire smoke over the weekend, I was dismayed to see the thick cover
of bad air as we descended into Sea-Tac.
Last
night around 7:20 p.m., still an hour from sunset, the sun was a
beautiful/terrible orange ball in the brownish-gray fog. In the 10 minutes I
took to sketch this, the sun kept fading and then literally disappeared behind
the smoke screen surrounding us.
Yikes! We’ve had bad air here also, though not hazerdous. I live in the Sacramento valley and we’ve been living with moderate air and unhealthy air for a couple of weeks. Hope it gets better soon for you!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure it's been bad in California, too! So many terrible fires. It's supposed to clear up here by Thursday!
