BC is going through one of the worst fire seasons we've seen in almost 50 years going along with the drought that has hammered the western part of North America.I woke up this morning with the skies obliterated in thick smoke from the Port Hardy fire on the north end of Vancouver Island that has only been burning the last couple of days! I tried to take some pictures with my cell phone camera to show you what it was like here outside the house,but my camera won't take the right pictures.....
Click on the link below and see the CBC news story about it from Vancouver with contributed photos from viewers who take accurate pictures of what it's like in the Vancouver area.We are a little worse shape smoke wise,but it is a blessing in one way,the smoke has blocked the sun lowering the air temperature 8 degrees Celsius.A far cry from the 30+ degrees Celsius record temperatures we have been suffering the last 10 days or so! (I suppose this demonstrates the effect of a nuclear winter in theory!) :shock:
