I'll bet someone was burning trash nearby. I really can't believe the

It was pretty windless for the first 12 hours of the fire. Smoke rises
as long as it is warmer than the air, but when it cools those
particulates tend to stay where they are for a long time.

It was heading east into lowlying areas acting more like a fluid than a
gas.

Theaters with smoke("fog") machines often run it over a chamber cooled
with dry ice to get it to stay lower. I ordered one for a company when
I had my shop.
