Black hole sun won’t you come
And wash away the raaaaaaain.
And wash away the rain
this has happened to me for like 5 of the last 6 years in western washington. last year i had ash raining down on my house from a nearby wildfire. in 2020 the smoke was so thick that i couldn’t see out of my apartment windows. i checked on google maps and according to that, the furthest trees that you can see in this pic are about 650 feet away.
(no idea why the pic is on its side)
it managed to get worse, but i don’t have any photos of it.
Go check out Ulaanbaatar sometime if you think that’s really the worst in the world.
We had that for several days in Denver. It was odd when I looked at the sun one morning thinking “huh, the moon sure is large and bright right now”
I no longer forget to put on sunscreen its become so common in the Canadian west. Probably seen this 2-3 dozen times between Cali smoke and the general western provincial fire season.
I’m in the same general area, and it’s wild how bad it’s been both today and yesterday. Makes you want to avoid going outside entirely.
East Coast is finally getting a taste of what West Coast summers have been like for the past decade(s).
I wonder if we’d be taking climate change more seriously if it was the other way around; considering there’s 10x as many people on the eastern states/provinces.
East Coast here and yep it’s smoky out.
Not even… LA smog is around 120 on the AQI, we were seeing levels past 450. My area had a peak of 456. This is far, far worse.
Western NY for reference.
Actually yes even.
Up in Canada we also get AQIs in the 300s-400s due to smoke from Cali, or just the general fire season.
LA /= all of West Coast.
If that’s not Bloomington I’ll eat my hat
