This may be a trivial effect of wildfire smoke...but it's kinda interesting: Baseball players can't see well enough to play.

Information on Greenville -craig333 said:Unfortunately the news out of Greenville is confirmed. Not good
I experienced that last year during the Slink fire - both ash and burnt sagebrush twigs made a real strange sound falling through the trees. And then the Mountain View fire. My camper and go-bags have been packed since May and the wind puts us on high alert (AKA PTSD)Lighthawk said:We both went through some evacuation checklists while large chunks of ash-fall landed on our decks, cars and garden. There were 1-2" chunks of charred leaves from oaks and bayleaf falling with the general white ash, but nothing hot, thank goodness. I tanked up the Hawk with fresh water.
Glad I canceled our reservations next week for Lassen.Smokecreek1 said:Sky is red, smoky and unhealthy -just like last year and very dark out and my house lights are on. Red Flag condition s and 40 mph winds driving fire real fast- latest update on Dixie Fire according to local radio station at 200pm. Last fire engines pulled out of western end of Chester along with last diehard residents' . Silver Lake area, Lassen NP evacuated Westwood and Clear Creek and mountain meadows Res. area evacuated and a new north end fire command will be relocated at the Susanville Fairgrounds and they request that we keep off HW 36 as evacuees and fire personnel come here. New evac centers opened at local High School and expanded at the Lassen College. I went down to store around noon, roads packed with cars, campers, fire equipment. Again sounds like last year with fire fighters getting ready to make a stand to the west of here and no where to go, but charging camper in case we lose power again or I decide to head our but right now with all the fire folks here in Susanviille this could be the safest place around for now-. yep another interesting year and it is only August! Until next update!
