 On the news it's like Oregon is burning up. But it's so common I ignore it and just fast forward.
Too bad the only break from the high temperatures comes from the smoke blocking the sun

Good photo. 

Let's just hope we don't have a flurry of dry lightening on the local ridges.

Yep. Interesting term "dry lightning" I've also heard of heat lightning. It think lightning is lightning , it's all the same.
But what do I know I put salt in my beer and will only eat dry toast.
I put that photo on a FB photography site last night and got 21 likes so far. I'm gonna be rich.

I looked at the video and it looks pretty bad. Although the view is just some mountain and I have no idea how far I am looking.
It must be as bad here or worse because I'm four miles from Table Rock and I can barley see it.

Typically that camera is angled in such a way you'd see the entire surrounding city looking North.....but I don't monitor it all that often, so the angle could change, but none the less, it's fucking smokey.

I'm having a hard time trying to figure out where this feed is coming from. What direction are we looking at? Is that the Rogue on the left? What road is that on the very bottom going the the right? Thanks so much. This view is awesome!

Smoke! Smoke! Smoke!  I tried to take a picture this morning of that blood red sun and it didn't even register on the camera!  It's awful. And thinking about long it is going to continue is quite depressing.

From the comment section below the view.

Reply: The camera is looking west from Fielder Mountain east of Grants Pass. On the lower left side of the view is the Rogue River. The road in the bottom middle is Interstate 5.
