Wildfires in Canada

[RustyBourneHorse]

It's insanely smoky in Cleveland, and it's been going on since yesterday. We had a couple Canadian fires sending smoke the last few years in a row since 2023 (the smoke was bad then too). This might be worse than 2023. It was thick then, but it's really bad now. Might get free after today with storms rolling into Cleveland.

Has anyone else here had smoke from the fires?

I'm not noticing any smoke here in Nebraska, but I can relate. When I lived in Idaho, there were wild fires every summer in Idaho, or in nearby states like Utah, Washington, and California. It was awful. We would have all the doors and windows shut with air purifiers running full blast, but it didn't help much. It's one of the reasons I moved back to Nebraska. We have tornadoes here every spring though. But that's rough, man. I feel for you. Hopefully, they're getting it taken care of up in Canada. I would hope we've sent some of our firefighters up there to help. I remember firefighters came down from Canada to help us when Utah was on fire.

I hope so too. It's apparently been more frequent than normal, and it's crazy how it's been now 3-4 years in a row of smoky days during summer lol.

I'm in Connecticut, and it's not bad today or yesterday, but Wednesday was pretty bad. It was really bad in NYC yesterday. Forecast is for poor air quality and visibility tomorrow.

Welcome to living out West. We deal with tbis every summer in Idaho. Lol

This is why you need to clear out or burn underbrush.

Canada really needs to get this under control, Forrest Management people! The Air Quality readings in NY the past couple of days has really been off the charts, the worst I have ever seen.
