Smoked Out
Jun 8^th, 2023 at 2:48pm

Canadian wildfires have made a mess of our air quality in the United States. Here's a link to a video on my Fascistbook page from last night. https://www.facebook.com/100051354533486/videos/652388543446895
The fires are still raging with no end in sight. This is awful, particularly for those with asthma, COPD, or other breathing problems. I live in South Jersey which is ground zero as you can see from the air quality map below.

We've gotten some warnings here in western PA, but not too serious thankfully. Keep safe buddy. How has your rain been? I haven't had a drop in three weeks now. The whole lawn is mostly brown at this point.

This is the second year of a serious drought in New Jersey. Our lawns are also brown. I live at the shallow end of Lake Rene and it looks like crap... lots of dry shoreline. We are parched.

The night before last when I took the video the Philadelphia are had the worst air quality of anywhere on earth.

We had it really bad here in 2020 and even in 2021. It was smoky for 4 months and we had 35% of normal rainfall for 3 years in a row. Hope you guys get some reprieve soon. It sucks.

It's still smokey today but tomorrow storms are supposed to clean it out. Storms have been missing us for the past few years. Hopefully this one won't.
