The fires have generated so much smoke that along with hazardous air from California to Washington state, skies above the U.S. capital have also taken on a hazy din, thanks in part to smoke wafting thousands of miles from the West Coast.
Hardest hit is Oregon, where tiny bits of smoke and ash known as particulates have reached the highest levels on record in Portland, Eugene, Bend, Medford and Klamath Falls, the state’s Department of Environmental Quality said on Tuesday. Satellite images show that some of the smoke from the fires, traveling on the jet stream at high altitude, has wafted east as far as New York and Washington, D.C., according to the National Weather Service.John Simko, a spokesman for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, said that generally, such particles are carried high on the wind and may not come close enough to earth to impact air quality.
Root cause? Arson? Other?
The fog of ANTIFA.

Oregon residents are illegally stopping drivers at gunpoint during wildfire evacuations, sheriff saysAmid evacuation orders due to raging wildfires, some Oregon residents suspicious of looting have been illegally stopping unfamiliar drivers at gunpoint. i thought you guys supported abolishing the cops hmmm..... now your crying about people standing up to looters. ya the msm makes a lot of sense The kind of scene we could only see it in Hollywood movies before. Now, it's reality. The looters and thieves are just as easily these law breakers stopping people pretending to live around there. Or maybe they do live around there, but they've made themselves into criminals now. So under no circumstances stop for anyone not identified as a legit officer.
