I smell smoke again

Have I mentioned I think a good snow storm would be FANTASTIC right about now?

At night time it's hard to SEE where the smoke is. I don't see glowing flames, so I assume we're fine.

And- I visited the trailer when we were allowed back to the area Thursday. I was impressed- after that huge fire that started right there-they did a fantastic job keeping that lot OFF fire. They had a firebreak around the storage lot and it looks like they even bulldozed it bigger at the time. everywhere else there looks like a moonscape since it's all burned out and black with white patches (I'm guessing the salt from the sea water dropped, but what do I know?)

When we saw where the fire started and heard the news reports of an explosion and saw the footage of everywhere around it, we figured the place was a gonner and the explosion one of the gas tanks going up in flames. I am ever so relieved. There was ash on and even IN it (but it's a redneck trailer- there are ventilation holes that weren't originally there when the trailer was produced)

Anyway... I don't think the air quality is helping the respiratory illness situation much. I was ignoring the coughs initially thinking it was from the air.. I was wrong. :-/
