On the morning of 10/9/17, we woke up to the smell of smoke in our bedroom since we usually sleep with the window open.  I woke up really early that morning and turned on the local news to see that Santa Rosa/Napa were on fire. This is one of the biggest fires in history and it burned for days. This is a photo of the Bay on the first day.

The air quality went from moderate to unhealthy very quickly and lasted for at least a week. It made sunsets really eerie with the red glowing sun and orange sky. This is a photo that Jes took from the ferry on his ride home on Wednesday.

The kids have had to stay indoors all week at school and all evenings after school. The playground outside was desolate and we had to turn the TV on to keep them contained and away from the kitchen dust too. What a rough week.

Here’s what the view of SF from the ferry looked like on Friday.  Yuck.
