I didn't think the satellite images of the West Coast fires could get more jaw-dropping and alarming. I was wrong. The smoke has been wrapped at least 1,000 miles west into a cyclone, and also is wafting far southeast, over Ariz. pic.twitter.com/U1fQqaX0MG

In reply to Washington Fire Danger Map:

The green in the west is to the west of the Cascades. Rain water gets dumped in the west before it reaches the eastern part of the state. Once you get the pat the Cascade Mountains you are in hot, dry country.

The extent of the fires is noted by the fact that Oregon vineyards are in the western side of the state while vineyards in Washington are on the eastern side of the state. Eastern Washington is almost like a desert. Lots of job losses. and properly damage.
