The smoke is killing me.....

user

So I live in northern Cali and we have had some horrible fires in the last few months. They say that they are almost all the way out but we are still so damn smokey. I hate it. We had planned a BBQ on friday and we had to cancel it. It was so smokey that you could not see a foot in front of you. This is summer in shasta county. We are suppossed to be at the lake and camping. But we have not been able to do that. I heard this morning that they had re-opened our lake but why would we want to go out there? It is so bad to breath in all that smoke. I just hope that our fire fighters will be able to get all of this contained so that we can enjoy the little bit of summer that we have left. My poor daughter hasnt been able to enjoy any of her summer vacation. Well i know that i should be happy that me or my loved ones were not effected by these fires. Well not affected as in we didnt lose our homes. But i just want this smoke to go away allready.

    I remember that feeling when SoCal, where I live, was on fire. My apartment in San Marcos had been evacuated, but luckily I'd stayed at my BF's house that night. The smoke was thick and disgusting and I couldn't wait for it to be done with too. Just keep up your prayers and do what you can for those Firemen, if anything. Imagine if you were the person trying to put out the flame, not just be irritated by the smoke.

    I am really sorry to hear of all the trouble you've had out there, those fires were fierce!!! I am sure the air quality will be very bad for quite sometime (unfortunatley)and it stinks for you and your family not being able to live your everyday normal lives it must be frustrating. Kids don't always understand things like this and I am sure it is epsecially exausting trying to figure out things to do instead of be outdoors enjoying summer like kids should. This too shall pass and I hope for you and your family sooner then later. Take care and know that people on the east coast are thinking of you.
