We've seen it like that here far more times then they have there.My cousin lives adjacent to NYC and sent this picture or air "quality" in Brooklyn yesterday for those of you who haven't seen what the wildfires in Canada are producing for the eastern areas.View attachment 88817

You're old!The picture in the title post could have been mistaken for the Los Angeles basiin, August 1965. Trust me. I was there.
And it wasn't wildfire smoke.
That fire started on the opposite side of the wife's grand parents home. They called it the Bel Air fire. the second Canyon east of the 405 in Sherman OaksYou're old!
I was wondering when someone was going to mention climate change.I was in Houston, fires in the Yucatan, air was smokier and with the smell of so cal in October. It went on for weeks
But it must be climate change.
Happy sheep being lead by wolves
I believe it was like that until and maybe through the 70s into the 80s.The picture in the title post could have been mistaken for the Los Angeles basin, August 1965. Trust me. I was there.

Good point, fire is so far away.That seems to be the consensus on social media that I have seen.
I'm not sure that I've seen impacts like that from 300 miles away though.
I thought I heard yesterday NYC was above 450.My mom's AQI on the other end of the state is usually in the single digits. They were close to 200 yesterday...When I pulled up the Purple Air map, NYC was mostly in the 300-400 range, as was the entire east coast of Pennsylvania.
Those folks ain't used to that... At all.

I hate to say this for fear of being skewered by the anti-gov people on this forum - strict regulations saved the air and water in CA. My wife didn't know there were mountains, and she cleaned tarballs off her feet after getting out of the water in the late 70s.

Also strict regulations of emissions from industry, yes? Including liquids.You are correct. It lasted, and the fix was strict regulation of tailpipe emissions. Now we have 3 times the cars and you can see the mountains every day, even in summer.
