Thick smoke blowing in from the 10,000 acre Eagle Creek fire choked the air around Portland, Oregon, on Tuesday morning, September 5, reducing air quality to some of the worst seen in the area all year. Strong winds fanned the wildfire overnight pushing it 12 miles westward into Washington and prompting mandatory evacuations, according to local reports. Footage by one Portland resident capture the smoke filled air as he flew over Vancouver, Washington, before landing in Portland on Tuesday. Credit: Facebook/jon Beil via Storyful
