[quoteost_uid0="Opium"][color=#000000ost_uid0]Actually, mudshark, that's what I meant: for a while, the news was showing the fires dying down, and what they did show looked like bonfires, not major forest fires. The coverage only changed after some serious damage was done.[/colorost_uid0][/quoteost_uid0]

I'd imagine the dust mask advisory is due to the amount of smoke and ash drifting about -- respiratory hazard for a lot of folks.[/colorost_uid0]
