Wondering where all that smoke came from about mid-day Monday? The Oregon Department of Environmental Quality says it came from a 2,300-acre wildfire near Estacada. Albany and Corvallis were among the places where the smoke was heaviest, according to a DEQ air quality map available online.
What sunrise? Darkness in the morning
The sun must have risen at 6:45 this morning, as scheduled. But in the Albany area we didn’t see it because of the covering of smoke from the wildfires spreading in the hillsides and canyons to the east.
