    Depending on the type of damage, some places may never come back to looking like they were within our lifetime. :(

    Hazardous Air Quality

    I always wondered what it would take to label air quality "hazardous", now I've finally seen it:

    Hazardous Air Quality right now in a giant area around Pasadena. Get to the beach!

    Edit: I just read this at the bottom but the time on the photo still updates.
    "Observatory weather: Smokey. Observatory operations shut down due to nearby fires."

    The cams working, just taking alot longer to load. Looks like smoke has moved behind the towers to the North. Note they took down the note of "fire close" and noted "smokey". Looks like the observatory will make it through.

    Compare the current destruction and the coming winter's destructions to MTB damage. 1 trillion to 1?

    After this passes will the hiker-only coalitions appreciate help with rebuilding? Huh? Want help with the trails buddy?
