The smoke outdoors is nearly unbearable.

Lightning and California in the summer is not a good combination.

I live in San Diego county and last year there were horrible arson related brush fires - a huge tree cracked and toppled over my balcony. I didn't know where my parents were for three days! I slept in my clothes in case I had to evacuate and had Kit's carrier all ready. She's the only one I would care to take anyway. My books can be replaced. She cannot.
 
last time those bad fires hit, school was cancelled because of the air quality.
 
Y'all need to do what I do whenever I spray my wigs, and that's get yourselves some of them goggles folks use for swimmin and don't breathe in!
