The Effects of the Gorge Wildfires

The air is so bad right now in Portland, Oregon that I can see ash falling from the sky, and I don't mean a little.




That sparkly stuff falling is ash hitting the light. The light is casting rays because of the thick haze. No kidding, it is nasty outside. I incidentally breathed in a piece of ash and it tweaked my sinuses for a split second.



Even the moon is blood red. This is similar to how the moon appears during a lunar eclipse but tonight it's all because of the horrible air from the wildfires in the Gorge.
