Everything is on fire

Summer is usually super bad for us in northern AZ as well as in California. A fire here around Sedona is burning its way up towards Flagstaff. I have some friends south of the city already get evacuated as the fire was only 3 miles out as of last night.

This is the view outside where I work on a normal day.

This was yesterday, smoke so thick you can't see the peaks.

Even the sun was barely shining through the smoke. Not a single cloud in the sky, but smoke thick enough to look overcast. I went out to my car and it was covered in ash.

The fire is still going strong but the wind died down and shifted some of the smoke so it's not as bad in the city today.

This is just the start of the fire season, hopefully they get this one contained and stopped soon. It sounded like it was man-started down in oak creek canyon and spread north along i17 from there

It rained here.

Lucky, I wish we had some rain. This fire burned 8000 acres in a little over 2 days.

Took this one today at work. You can see the smoke mixing with the big fluffy clouds

Does it always smell like a massive fire pit is going when you have forest fires like that? Stupid question I guess, but the first thing I thought of was how bad is the smell.

Yeah, the smell isn't too bad, but it's kind of like overload when you breathe it in. My eyes burn and my throat's been dry for a few days now. Not too bad, but it's annoying when it goes on for a week or so at a time.
