Three weeks into their peaceful relocation they awoke to a surreal horror. At first they were stunned by the orange sky. Since they've been living in Mongolia, Brazil, and Turkey over the past year, they thought perhaps Oregon has red skies in the fall. Their landlord quickly told them it was not normal and that they should prepare to flee.
