Another smoky day, no rain, maybe some showers by Thursday night. See on the morning CoCoRaHS rainfall map a little rain north of Portland and along the coast. Picture is of a stressful looking oak tree on our place. Wonder what the long term effects will be on the weather, acid rain possibilities, and vegetation due to all the smoke and ash? Sure glad we planted 25% other than Douglas fir, 10% Incense Cedar, 10% Ponderosa Pine and 5% maple/ash.
