This site at a glance shows you all the fires as well as how far the smoke has traveled out over the ocean. At this point it is literally changing the weather in most western states and over the ocean sort of the way a volcano also changes the weather.
During the Mt. Saint Helens eruption it altered the weather for several years then in 1980. At that time I was building my A-Frame on land my wife and I had bought and our older kids now were 5, 6 and 8 years old at that time and our land 2 1/2 acres was at 4000 feet on the side of Mt. Shasta. We had a spring for water there too.
Then the eruption dropped the temperatures about 10 degrees on average for 2 to 3 years, created Green, purple pink and orange sunsets for several years and we got more snow then which was around 7 feet of snow at a time for several years too which made me very glad I built an A-Frame for my family because this prevented the roof from collapsing from snow loads if we weren't there when it came down (the snow).
At present the smoke has been going on so long that there is now some smoke all across the U.S. and the smoke pattern reminds me of a running horse with it's head out to sea in the Pacific ocean. There is even a blob of it in the Atlantic Ocean likely traveling over to Europe at this point too.
