RE: Walk With Me [4] - Escape to the Marine Layer - Part 1 - Sunday Scent Experience: Forest Fire Smoke!

Yes, Portugal has had such bad wildfires recently. You describe perfectly what it looks and feels like. It helps us enjoy the rain!

Every summer season it's the same. I remember of wildfires since I was a kid, every year!! Some years are better than others. This year (last year, 2017) our wildfires were terrible and now I almost hear everyone happy with the rain, we won't forget the lives that were taken that easily.

The loss of lives in 2017 was really incredible. In the western US, this was one of the few times that the wildland fires moved into towns -- cities, really. A hospital, a big hotel, a shopping center, and whole suburban neighborhoods burned. The fire fighters were not prepared for that kind of event. And burning ashes were sweeping miles and miles away to start new fires. I am hoping that 2018 is a quiet year, for everyone! More rain!
