On American men thinking they're centrist-this is the Overton window problem.
My apartment is filled with smoke smell and we are all coughing; the light outside is yellow-gray, and there is so little light that the automatic parking lot lights stay on all day. Coworkers have been evacuated (some multiple times as the fires keep moving) along with their animals-horses, goats, cats, dogs. People living just 3 miles from me have been evacuated.
Because of the extremely dry summer and low humidity, and some high winds last weekend, the city was filled with small fires - mostly caused by trees taking out power lines that then sparked dry grass and shrubs. But some are from homeless people trying to keep warm overnight, or cooking food.
The soonest we can expect some relief is still 4 days away, when the wind is supposed to change and there's a small chance of rain.
