All the way through the entire Portland Metro, too. It’s huge. In my area it got to 176 AQI and in Portland proper, some places were well over 200. I hope the upcoming rain helps clear up our PNW skies and give the firefighters (and our lungs) some relief.

Yeah dude. It's fucking LATE OCTOBER. We are supposed to be way past this shit by now. Although I supposed "supposed to" is a problematic statement because really, until about the last five years this stuff didn't happen at all. There was no "smoke season" in the PNW when I was growing up here

We should already have several inches of rain by now, too. I want autumn back.

No shit. Never in life growing up in the PNW did I EVER think that I would actually want summer to end and be cheering for the rain to set in. But here we are

356 for us in Camas… in my home my eyes, throat and lungs are/were burning. It’s better today, but still horrible.

God, that’s what it was like in summer 2020. Crossing my fingers today is the last day of this.

Spokane and the entire East side of the state is under a quality watch until Friday when we’re supposed to get some rain as well.

Lots of BC is the same, I'm in the interior so many hours drive from the border and it's been bad here too.
