Canadian Smoke

[Rmay635703]

Check out the color. It’s really bad.

My area is adjacent to Minnesota wildfire fallout and it’s bad randomly, when “fog” was coming down it seemed to be the worst, air is mildly acrid and makes my eyes water (94 on the scale) but due to budget cuts the warnings of localized severe pollution are probably more accurate.

I’ve been nauseous and il the last few days and low and behold, despite the cherrie pollution score, monoxide levels are quite high, go figure.

I was wondering why my monoxide detector wouldn’t shut off, despite all the windows being closed this whole time.

Everything has an ominous orange hue here in central MA.

This was last evening...

It was pointed out on the local weather reports in last nights DC news programs. It's reached this far down.

One of my kids is down on the Cape with a friend. He just sent this picture.

It's really bad in the Buffalo NY area today as well.

I’m just a stone’s throw away in Niagara Falls. The AQI is 136 here. 80 miles north where I live it’s 208

These pics were posted today on reddit from the fires in Northern Ontario (not really northern but hey, anything farther north than Barrie is "Northern Ontario" to us in the GTA).

Canadian train screw stopped in a burning forest.

Maybe some of the railroad guys here can elaborate, why would they stop and wait and not drive away?

It's terrible in Syracuse NY area.

It's getting worse here in the city as night falls
Can smell it pretty bad now (not that it's unpleasant, just irritating)

The brief heavy rain probably helped, tomorrow will probably be more visible

It was something else heading home yesterday; when I was walking/driving south it was all orange, but once I turned north it went to a suddenly unexpected blue sky. I had gotten used that orange hue rather quickly. Looking forward to the better air!

Well over 800 wildfires in Canada . This was stated a few days ago .

Aren't we having a Great Arson Season!

It’s not exactly deliberately set. Most fires are caused by people being stupid (camp fires out of control) But they weren’t done on purpose

Was Pablo in the area?

I’m currently in Wisconsin. It’s very hazy and the AQI is 614. Visibility is just above a quarter mile.

Here in Cleveland AQI is 489... The PM 2.5 is currently 319.9 µg/m³. Never seen it so bad, even with the previous wildfire smoke the past few years!

Thankfully I have and run a trio of air cleaners inside my home and my indoor levels are under 10 µg/m³ per my two air quality meters. Not shabby comparably, but typically I am running under 0.5 µg/m³.... So they are working hard today.
