Here is a link to an excellent animated smoke map that John sent me. It’s very cool. Scroll down past the first map, to the second black one.

Here’s a screenshot, but it’s best to click the link above to see the animation effect as it progresses through several days.

That animation only goes from Nov. 12 – 19, but it is still smoky. Here is today’s smoke extent from Airnow.gov.

On Friday Laura and Alex left the Bay Area and are down in Santa Maria, which is near the coast about halfway between San Francisco and Los Angeles, between San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara. They are lucky they both have computer jobs and were allowed to work remotely.
