Stepped outside today and the smoke from the forest fires is quite noticeable here in Southern Illinois. And we're only about halfway up on the scale here: https://firesmoke.ca/forecasts/current/

Some people overlook when one area suffers another excels. Here in the dust bowl were are no longer in a drought (for now) and things have grown well and ive seen this go in 10 year cycles which is how the dust bowl got so populated in such a short time in the early 1900-s. The farmers hit the area in an extremely wet time period only to find out it was cyclic.
STOP POTATO HATE!

I Live in N.E. Tennessee. The smoke is here. The news has been reporting it for a few days now. I didn't think it would come this far south. I was wrong. It hasn't really affected us yet but the nearby mountains are really hazy.

Yeah - it was pretty damn bad here 40 miles NW of Detroit - it got progressively worse into the evening here. at around 7:30 last night, the air index was at 184. In my 65 years, I've never seen sh*t like this before. The air had an acrid, toxic smell to it as well. Today, we woke to a pretty dense fog, but that cleared. Much clearer today, but still the smoky haze & some of the smell, but not as bad. We are living in some strange times.

Kinda crazy, but so much smoke layers in the air means you can aim regular cameras at the Sun and take pictures of ‘sunspots’ https://www.solarham.net/

My travels today throughout PA, from Red Lion to Scranton- there is a ton of this smoke $hit in the air. Mountain tops covered, it looks foggy. Its definitely affecting my breathing, it sucks! "im in my mid 70's and i've never seen smoke in the air like this. i live a little south of indy and for the past 2 days everything smells like burning wood and the sky looks like a light fog all the time." looks like this on I-80, exit 78, [north of Coder] for the last couple of days, and being in the same age group, i have never seen it like this. [except the time i set the woods on fire playing with my army men and a can of lighter fluid as a "flame thrower". i got my a$$ beat big time for that stunt. : . luckily, the fire department was close, and put the fire out quickly. i never played with my army men after that "life lesson" was taught to me.

Just think, most of those Canadian fires were caused by arson, as in intentionally set.
Most never thought fires in Canada would cause problems for us here. i'd bet they are arson too. more environmentalist terror.

I drive truck from near Wheeling to Eighty Four to Aliquippa, really bad the last two days. Looking East on I 70 looks like a bad thunderstorm is ahead. How soon before some lawyer sues Canada for second hand smoke?

Most never thought fires in Canada would cause problems for us here. i'd bet they are arson too. more environmentalist terror. The fires are in remote locations where few trained firefighters are available, and very little fire fighting equipment is available. And those fires just happen to be where the prevailing winds drive most of the smoke towards us.

Hey that's just how it looked back in the 50's and 60's when I grew up there but down the Mon in McKeesport. Between the Clairton coke plant, the blast furnaces in the "Port" and the Duquesne furnaces it was like that 24/7. Deja Vu e-(pun intended) all over again MikeR

REAL smoky again here in my area of Michigan. I think worse than 2 days ago. So, when the fires reach our border, are they going to just come across & start burning the US? [censored] is this all about anyway?

sample quote Nearly every province in Canada has fires burning. A record 30,000 square miles (80,000 square kilometers) have burned, an area nearly as large as South Carolina, according to the Canadian government. end quote https://apnews.com/article/smoky-ai...climate-9d7f3fd7645e2222357022ea8277f1faThinking back to Red Adair using explosives to snuff out oil well-head fires. Has there been a field test of dropping a line of multiple fuel-air “Daisy Cutter” propane bombs on a forest fire?

No really good air but sooner or later you gotta cut grass. Especially when they are calling for five days of rain starting tomorrow

We should sue Canada for killing us At least charge them for polluting our air! This is the second wave of smoke! After the first one i figured we would be done with it. WRONG! Friday when i left for work it was smokey but by the time i got to work it was 3 Times as bad. Burns your eyes! They say it will be clearing up but in the yellow today. Been in the red for the last few days. If you want to check your air quality go here.

Fighting Big Fire with small Fires https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-65848872sample quote Fire chiefs are particularly looking to expand the number of specialist teams trained in "burn suppression" techniques - the deliberate burning of land to keep a fire contained. At the moment, just five UK units across more than 50 fire and rescue services specialise in the "fighting fire with fire" technique, mostly in moorland areas. end quote For some reason the brush fire scene from the quirky comedy movie “The Gods Must Be Crazy” is unforgettable. For vehicle repair, the driverless Land Rover scene brought a chuckle.
