Well, I actually got an email after yesterday's phlog post, so I thought I should provide an update on the fire situation. You never know. I might have two readers! Environment Canada is predicting rain showers tomorrow night and there's a 60% chance of showers for Tuesday and Wednesday. The BC Wildfire service says that the fire is not moving as quickly today. It's calm out and the temperature is lower (a high of 22C today). The fire came 20 km in my direction on Friday. It's 20 km away now and my house is right on the edge of a forest that almost crosses right through the middle of town. So the weather changes are a relief. We've had a lot of smoke in the summers since 2018, but nothing like this year. Our air quality index is 476 today. The smoke makes me feel sick. You can't go outside. It's seeping into the house, so you can't run the exhaust fan in the kitchen (low pressure in the house draws in more outside air) and you have to remember to keep the dryer door closed. I can't bear to sit around under circumstances like this, so I spent the afternoon laying new flooring. It seems odd to do in a situation like this (renovating a house that might not be here in a few days), but it's better to stay busy. Anyways, that's the Sunday update.
