Smoke gets in your eyes

Hundreds of wildfires continue to burn in Northern California, the result of highly unusual lightning storms. Smoke from the blazes, many of which continue unchecked, spread throughout the state and reached as far as Nevada. (That's Vacaville this week, where the sun shone red because of smoke from nearby fires in Fairfield and Green Valley.)
