And balzaccom, if you folks can get particulate masks, please wear them when outside! I'm still barking a bit from my smoke exposures at Sisters, OR in August and Portland metro area in September (before I fled). That stuff is not good for your lungs! Just saw an article atating that Napa has the worst air quality in the nation! We had the dubious honor up here over Labor Day weekend.

My SIL has been wetting everything down again. He says there actually is very little wind where he is (a couple miles SW of Sonoma). He didn't mention the hospital. The authorities are handing out advisories (sounds like our Levels 1 and 2 ) way, way ahead of the fires, which is a good thing. They are even suggesting that Petaluma folks think about packing. Since a lot of refugees (plus much of the evacuated livestock) are there, that could really be bad!
