It's pretty bad, yeah. Opening the front door causes immediate coughing. The county immediately east of the city limits is 100% under some level of evacuation readiness. I live just a few miles away from evac zone 1, which is "be alert, start preparing." I called the family meeting two nights ago; we are ready. As ready as you can be to abandon your home, anyway. Those hell-winds have stopped, thank goodness. We are ok for now.

Yeah, I kind of miss when things were only metaphorically on fire... :p
