Let’s See How Smoky it is Near You

[WJCO]

Just when I thought we were gonna see a break in the smoke, the fricken Caldor fire broke out. Yesterday was apocalyptic and today is still pretty bad.

Scary looking

Salt Lake and Denver make the world’s worst top 10 list this morning, although the AQI is always changing. Haven’t seen the Front Range mountains in weeks

What I would do for an AQI of 179! Yesterday got into the high 500's for us.

LOL... I was thinking the exact same thing, there's people walking around with safety glasses on to keep the ash out of their eyes over here.

I believe it! That damn Dixie Fire has been hell and super close to you now. The winds have changed and we were supposed to get a break from it starting yesterday but the damn Caldor Fire is getting us now.

Damn that is off the scale hazardous. Really makes me think about the sacrifice firefighters are making being right up against the fires

Air was brutal yesterday, ash coming down all over town, probably as bad as I've seen it here, but I'm sure it wasn't as bad as your air CalSagt.

There's three small towns that have been evacuated and many of them landed in Susanville, now outlying areas of Susanville are being evacuated causing fights at the evac center. The Lassen Co. folks are kicking the Plumas Co. folks out & telling them their evac center is in Portola. Pretty fucking sad.

If you guys are in the 300's and there is ash falling that's bad, we have varied from high 100's to 500's the last few weeks with the norm being between 200-300. The wind changed last night and cleared the valley, it is 158 right now and feels like the freshest air ever.

I was just in Denver…it’s hard to imagine smoke from CA screwing up the air quality all the way to Denver…that’s a big fire

 

[wayoflife]

And just like that, it’s shitty Smokey again

Thanks n just one hour, the AQI went from a moderate 79 to an unhealthy 159 and it’s getting worse by the minute.

Do you know if it’s that bad down in the LV/Henderson area…I’ll be there next week

The air is clean down there or at least, right now anyway. If I could guess, it'll be good when you come out.

I would say better you than me but it’s still shitty here too. (Still not my actual address)

Correction: the air is not smokey down there. I don’t think there is anything clean about LV. Lol

I'm sure the CDC is on top of this and all news channels in the area are recommending masks.
