Interesting METAR for SQL

KSQL 022151Z 33010KT 30SM FEW010 FEW015 SCT180 23/07 A3024 RMK FU

I haven't seen an FU before.

If you look it up you will find it stands for "smoke"

There was an explosion/fire south of SQL yesterday afternoon at the Graniterock plant ... Smoke was thick and black as it was two tanks of liquid asphalt.
The location was pretty much at the base to final turn for a long final (abeam Kaiser).

It attarcted 3 news helicopters and SQL suspended closed traffic.
