it was still nice, and I really didn't spend the time. The problem with stuff like this, is there's not really much option to figure out how you're going to capture stuff, until you actually have an event. And I don't know when such a massive event has last happened, but I'd be surprised if it was within the last 50 years.
last year we had "special weather advisory" which was smoke, and without even any distance to look, it was... impressively low visibility. Don't go out in that like I did.
