Skie,
We're going through the same thing here, but the smoke is from ranchers deliberately burning pasture. The wind blows the smoke into the city and my asthma wears me out!
We've had 2 hailstorms so far, and believe it or not, we got hail at our house, but no rain! It is sooooo dry on this side of town that I water every time I get a chance. The rains swerve north and south of us every time. It sure looks like we're heading for a severe drought this year. Hope I'm wrong on that...
