At 8 a.m. in Napa this morning, I tried to take a photo of our backyard. On the one hand, it looked as if it were snowing...as ash fell from the sky at a steady pace. But it was difficult to capture the scene on my camera. because it was so dark that the camera's auto-flash deployed.
Yes, in what would normally be broad daylight, any outdoor photos required a flash. And that flash lit up the flecks of ash falling from the sky.
Absolutely apocalyptic.
Great news...my murder mystery was just made a top pick by a leading hiking and backpacking website: https://www.outdoorsgenerations.com/best-outdoor-adventure-books/
