Smoke from the Canadian Wildfires

[TJC]

I stumbled upon this dynamic website that updates air quality around the USA. The smoke has creeped within 30 miles of my home, I actually smelled it this morning.

Here's a snapshot of what happening

If you zoom in you can see the seriousness of if. This is Richmond, VA! We are starting to see it in central NC.

Oxford is 20 miles from me and is now showing elevated levels.

You can check out your locale by accessing this Fire and Smoke Map link.

Just wait the AQI hit 664 at my house here in Wisconsin. We're DOWN to mid-400s today. The sun is at least yellow again. It is so nice that Canada shares. I see Michigan is trying to sue Ontario for damages.

This also happened years ago when I was still living in MA. I have asthma and it would choke you as soon as you'd walk outside. CA really needs to do a better job at forest management.


Maybe if everyone in the affected areas all ate large amounts of Poutine there'd be enough gas to blow the smoke away.

Pretty heavy today here in Central Va. It actually kept the heat down some while I mowed the lawn. Yeah, wore a mask the whole time, which I often do anyway. Pollen, dust and dirt ain't good.

Yep, You guys are up the the 225 range (purple zone) over there. Which is "stay inside, or limit out door physical activity".

We are due south 200 miles and we've been in the mid 150 range (red zone). I actually smelled smoke in the air this morning when I got up.

Hopefully the winds change directions.

My son lives in Danville, VA (near the NC line) and complained of smelling it today.
