Wildfires have been brutal in BC this year. Thousands evacuated and more than a million hectares scorched.
We're lucky here near the coast, though we've been plagued with smoke drifting not only from here in BC but from
wildfires in WA. and OR. also. Add that to the record temperatures we're having and, you've guessed it - not very pleasant out today.
This was taken at 10.50 am today, but the sun totally disappeared soon after. As you can see, even the street lights are on.
