This air has me wheezing and sneezing. Hoping for relief by tomorrow.
Ooops, I see @getbent answered. It got better this evening but this round has been pretty bad. I'm hoping we can do today's plans tomorrow.
We're healthy but it catches up and you know it's not allergies or being sick.
as of 5 min ago its not just Canada
that map is so brutal. Thank you for sharing. Everyone here has an app called watch duty, it is a great way to see where the fires and smoke are and what the response is.
As much fun as it is to blame Canada, there's also many large wildfires going on in many states, such as Idaho, Colorado , North and South Dakota.
Of course, the news people like to just say "... because of Canadian wildfires."

I'm really glad we are out of drought after the past few summers for no fires here but some IA and MN watersheds hit flood stage. The extremes are not good and especially for how much corn and soybeans come from a few upper midwest states.

droughtmonitor.unl.edu I love Canada. Ain't nobody 'to blame' about smoke and fires. They are just whompin all of us. I only have sympathy and good thoughts for all the people having to deal with it.
only chuckleheads lay the blame for this kind of stuff...

I live in above mentioned Manitoba. It is truly an horrific thing. Many people are evacuated from their homes hoping to return to a home. It seems like all of Canada is on fire each summer and each year is worse. It’s hard to even comprehend the size of this So much boreal forest has burned and so much more will burn.
It is an environmental disaster, which seems like a phrase that we all hear so often it means little.
The sky here is not blue anymore

it like the time some one blocked a river in Washington state and it flooded the highway and that regions cattle farms to the interior for knocking out bridges who are you going to blame and what is the point to do so . look at pic #8 those are cattle barns, killed tons of livestock and 8-10 cars were missing
this was the highway from Kamloops to Vancouver
We’re at 154 on the AQI , at quarter to 11 at night . Supposed to be thru tomorrow .
a few years ago, a whopping chunk of California burned... we had smoke for about 6-8 weeks. It was oppressive.
It is not good for you, but there isn't a bunch you can do.
I don't know how it works at your place, but here, though it should work like that, people don't really. In the south of france, you should see the litter in the streets. fast food bags, empty cans, anything goes.Then whats coming next? Banning food and soda cans for people not leaving garbage in the sand?
I mean... We are adults right? This is not a proper excuse

For sure you will see people that feel above the law and everyone else, they dont have a specific ethnicity, they exist everywhere.
When it comes to the beaches, we have so many here that is close to impossible to be littered, we used to have a problem back in the 90's and the state flooded TV with this advertise and this "mascot", impossible to believe but it did work good. There are specific dates every year that people gather voluntarily and try to find garbage in beaches.

I’ve tried to explain to several folks why the Canada wildfires cannot just be “put out”, why they and a number of other fires are happening and that this situation ain’t going away overnight or, perhaps, in my lifetime. I think people who don’t pay much attention to weather or climate + only experience the “outdoors” via a rare trip to a national park aren’t really in touch with what’s going on.
And then there’s the Information Superhighway, and now social media, spewing a constant flow of sensationalism, garbage and outright lying…and people seem to glom onto it.

My girlfriend, my puppy and I were super, super lucky with the timing of our ten day car visit to MI, WI and MN, end of last month. I think the only bad (part of a) day we had was passing through Duluth on the way up towards the Boundary Waters. Tent camping only, and Sleeping Bear Dunes walk in camping is just great.
Been back at The Cabin since about the 28th, and thankful that the heat spell has broken. We're getting some rain over here just 100 miles east of Chattanooga, none of the deluges that Charlotte and so forth are getting. I don't think we'll seen highs of above 80F for the next 8+ days. Average percentage chance of rain for the week? 80%. Very weird.

There was a fire earlier this month near Cuyama, now another is burning west of there. It saddens me so to see this kind of destruction. I've seen it before in our mountains to the east, and land over along the coast. It takes so many years to recover, I'll never see it like it used to be again.
I used to run Highway 166 a lot when I was trucking both hauling equipment and during my stint at hauling LPG plant to plant. It was quite beautiful with forest and farmland alike along the way. I'll probably avoid traveling on 166 there's no point in seeing it now.

we took it this spring because my wife had never seen it.... I remember getting horses from there as a kid to take back to anaheim...
We’re burning up here, in so many ways. Climate change, no Sir, that’s a hoax perpetrated by China don’t cha know. COOP
