At 5pm there was sunshine and a clear blue sky, then there was a wind
change and by 7pm the smoke had arrived from the Mount Underwood fire,
close to China Creek and near Port Alberni, located in the centre of
Vancouver Island. (I guess, with all the smoke, we won't see the
Perseid meteor shower tonight.)

The fire was at 1400 hectares (3460 acres) at 530pm PDT. The good
news is that at this time there are no reported injuries from the fire.
