Is that smog from the fires floating into nevada from cali?

Media

Yikes!

Thank God I live where it's cold & NOT smokey! :winkwink:

Yeh, smoke all the way from the California fires has apparently nailed the whole city.

What a disaster.

Jesus.. thats awful.. is there any airline delays from smog or anything like that? It looks like its starting to get pretty bad.. and theres not a whole lot of wind there right now is there?

Media

I can tell you...

It's much worse than those pictures show. It smells like a giant ashtray and I can't even see the strip from my house (I live "in the hills" and I've never had a problem seeing the strip). Supposedly it's only going to get worse tomorrow.

Is it clearing up in California yet? Once again...I'd hate to be there and my sympathy goes out to any and all who have had to go through these horrible fires first hand.

There is a TON of wind right now.

looks similar (but not as bad) as Banff this summer. huge, HUGE forest fire that lasted all summer.

so glad that shit is over.

Damn how long last such things?

Nasty!

That's gotta be bad for your health breathing that all day :(

Yeh plus all the airborne soot particles get all over your cars for weeks afterwards.

the air is the worst part. a couple of weeks in, and people start to get really sick. total fire ban, most hiking trails closed, can't see fuck all. yeah, it sucks bad. of course it didn't rain for 3 fucking months... was a fucked up summer.

The problem with California is you have dried out trees, hot air, hardly any rain, and horrendously rugged terrain that is very difficult to firefight in effectively.

It can go on until it burns itself out in some areas where they just can't get in there to fight it.

Damn, this is going to last really long

I remember one time back in the 80's being in Vegas when one of those sandstorms they have out in the desert came through.

If you've never been in one of those its an experience from hell. The blowing sand can literally take the paint off your car. And if you're walking your whole face gets this stinging sensation.

that must be sucky for sure
youd have to spend all day in a casino :Graucho :Graucho

Hehe I bet the casinos are loving it :1orglaugh

ya im freezin my nuts off here. But it will be 65 on halloween YAY

I doubt it. Who wants to visit a smokey town? Plus, tourism is down in Vegas as it is, so...

It's supposta be mid-60s later today too. :thumbsup

They say it's gonna be a long cold winter in good ol' Chi-town this year...enjoy the warm weather while ya can...

Damn...
Im flying in on Saturday....
Shit, I have to stay inside all they then.....

MrLeone

Looks fucked man..

You guys are weak... try living in the center of the fire front ;)

Don't forget the nuts who won't allow the clearing of dead trees and brush that feed fires, who won't allow people to clear firebreaks, who won't allow controlled burns to avoid this type of situation...
If they'd let the firefighters, loggers, and property owners do their job, things would NOT be this bad.

this is nuts

you might as well walk around with a face mask on.

Wow and I'm supposed to go to Vegas in a few days.

Hehehe.... no problem man...
Im going to SEMA AUTOSHOW, so I dont mind the air problem.
Have rent an room at www.luxor.com :thumbsup
So that will be juuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuust nice....


MrLeone

the air is actually clearing up a little here in san diego..

now that it is getting light out.. im actually seeing a little blue sky.

sunday, monday, and tuesday.. the smoke was horrible.
people were finally getting to use their 9/11 gas masks.

Those pics make Vegas look pretty bad. When were those taken? I bet its even worse now.

WG

i can't stand those smokes, might as well stay indoors. :)

uoooooo cali fires....

:helpme

These speak for themselves.

Appreciate all that you have. And always remember, it can be taken from you in an instant.

The 35mph winds here today blew all the smoke out of here.

Nice and clear and sunny like usual :)

64 degrees with a 14mph wind gusting to 36mph

San Diego has 60 mph winds right now. Hurricane level starts at 74. That is just wild.

So thats where the smoke went when the offshore winds came in :glugglug

Hey atleast you just have the smoke, we still have fires!

jDoG

Fear not, Canadian fire bombers are on their way to help. We are sending our entire fleet, all 2 of them.

lol!

those pictures of vegas are nuts, and to think i was gonna come out there and see some people for halloween.

I think it's time to log some trees. Environmentalists sometimes go too far. :2 cents:

OK, dumb blonde question here - the satellite pictures seem to show the smoke blowing to the west - how the heck is LV getting coated that badly? :(

That's pretty bad. Looks like my city, except for the hotels, casinos, hookers.... ah...well the air quality seems similar... :(

Peaches are you looking at an updated pic?

Those are incredibly touching and humbling, KRL. Thanks for sharing

Probably not - I'm referring to the ones I've seen posted here. :( Do you have a link? And are you and Tonda OK??!!

It's been my experience that wind usually blows off the water and onto the land, making the wind blowing east over California. It has to do with the temperature change of the terrain the air is traveling over, and some other stuff.

crazy pics

Yeap.. It's unreal

WOW!!! I thought the Malibu fires where bad. This is crazy!!
:(
