Wow.
Took a look at that link, and those smoke patterns are incredible. The smoke is still dulling visibility in the Big Bear Lake area today, KBHR and The Grizzly are both reporting about the smoke to alert residents that it's not from a fire nearby.

One thing I will say for sure, waking up Friday morning while out in the wilderness to the smell of smoke was a little unnerving.
