Dirty air

[Jilly_in_VA]

Don't know about where you are, but the wildfire sn=moke is hitting us hard here in NW VA. Iwent to work in Harrisonburg this morning and could hardly see to drive, it was so bad, and in the little town near where I live you couldn't see more than a half block in front of you (I had to go to the store for some stuff after work)). Oddly, possibly because we live on heavily wooded acreage, it's not too bad at our house, but I feel sorry for the trees.

How is it where you live?

1. In the DMV--there is a crew working outside on a nearby house

In the smoky and very hot air. I sure hope they are getting sufficient breaks and water.

4. It's not as bad today as it was yesterday- still unhealthy

Here in SE PA. My husband has a lung condition and he hasn’t been outside since noon yesterday.

6. Not Great

Hazy and smokey in Fairfax. Smells bad. AIr quality is identified as dangerous. I can’t imagine what they’re going through in the Northwest.

7. Westbound out of Milwaukee you encounter north south hills that have mile long slopes

even if they don't rise more than 80-90 ft above "lake-levels"'

It seems that the smoke here, hung low in the sky for the last couple mornings. looking up you couldn see hints of blue above the smoke

I've been wondering if the hills help the smoke "pool" into denser areas than in flat open areas, I don;t know the answer to that, I just wonder,

8. Our worst reading today (SW Oh) was a 451 this afternoon.

The highest, or worst category, is "Hazardous" and begins at 300. It set an all-time record. When I arrived home this afternoon the house at the end of the street, maybe 120 yards away, looked like a ghostly apparition.

I always wondered what it would have been like to live in LA in the '70s, and I think today we got a good approximation.

9. Very hazy in Charlottesville

Doesn't smell nice out there either. Just waiting on the rain.
