I am glad you folks are still safe. My daughter lives in Spokane, and she said the smoke was as thick as fog. When stopped at a traffic light, it was so thick she couldn't see the next traffic light up the street. The AQI in our area was around 300 yesterday. I, too, have been staying indoors as much as possible.

I was a bit concerned until the plane made the circle of the fire and I could tell it was still a ways a way. More than half the units have been called off the fire now so it looks to be beginning containment. The smoke was so thick it reminded me of how thick the fog gets in the Central Valley in California.
Actually I think those units got called off since we have state fire called in to assist. That way we can still have local coverage in case any other fires pop up. Just my guess anyway.
In all the years we've lived here, this is the first time we've had so many big fires so close by. It's crazy.
