Fires outside Eugene OR as seen for miles, downtown

During the week of the fires our reporters witnessed spontaneous bolts of lightning occurring supposedly as a byproduct of the friction in the air caused by the smoke caused by the fires, catalysing a cyclical phenomenology — fires potentially caused by lightning bolt caused by smoke caused by fires. A Great Red Spot has developed on the west coast. The fires are increasing.

The next morning arrives a fog thick enough to be cut with a Browning 6 inch stiletto.

For two weeks conditions varied from ashing to light smoke.
