The nightmare from hell continued well into the morning hours.
12:50 AM: Moderate wood smoke continues. It is still very smoky outside. Breathing air like this for more than a few minutes will make you sick to your stomach.
2:00 AM: Light wood smoke continues. At least it is starting to die down. The windows still cannot be opened. The entire house will reek of wood smoke if they are opened.
2:45 AM: Light to moderate wood smoke. It is getting stronger again. Just what we need at almost 3 AM.
4:30 AM: Light wood smoke. I suspect whoever was burning -- and it was probably one household responsible for the intense wood smoke -- left their bonfire smoldering while they went inside to bed.
5:30 AM: Light wood smoke continues. The air outside reeks! The windows still cannot be opened.
6:10 AM: A brief rain sprinkle for a couple of minutes. I hope it rained on the smoldering bonfire so it finally gets extinguished.
7:00 AM: Faint wood smoke continues.
8:00 AM: The air is mostly clear. It is not fresh air. A very faint lingering smokiness remains. We can finally open the windows!
Hopefully, we can enjoy 10 or 11 hours of fresh air before the wood smoke pollution starts tonight. It is 8:30 AM as I write this. I fully anticipate more smoky air tonight. Sundays tend to be one of the smokiest nights of the week.
5:15 PM: Faint wood smoke. Somebody may be grilling with wood. It did not last long.
9:45 PM: Light to moderate grass smoke. Somebody is burning yard waste. Close windows. Prior to this there was not any smoke except for that around 5:15 PM.
9:30 PM: A very faint trace of grass smoke remains in the air.
10:00 PM: Air is mostly clear. Off to bed.
When I woke around 1:15 AM the air was clear.
