California burning (fire journal)

Does anybody know where it's burning in the North Bay? This morning, I couldn't even see Mt. Tam from East Bay. Huge sausage rolls of smoke all up and down the coast to at least Santa Cruz and beyond. This is more than just the Lake County fire. There was a fire in Terra Linda last night, probably the fresh smoke I was smelling. Fire officials said the blazes responsible for the smoke wasn’t just in Lake County, where nearly 150 square miles of grass and woodland have been on fire in recent weeks. Instead, the shift in winds overnight Friday pushed the heavy smoke from several fires in far northern Trinity County into the greater Bay Area.. Looks like it went coastal, even Monterey and Santa Cruz is thick smoke.
