The Fire and Rain and Smoke Thread

[Zykamps]

Today was 72, my full ride and it was much better than yesterday's 80.

I have a theory:

When AQI is improving, the woods take longer to clear up, as the trees inhibit air circulation and wind. While it was "80" last night maybe it was more in the woods.

Maybe you're on to something. 87 but looks much worse then when it was 181. In a valley surrounded by forests.

Lake Louise worker housing torched.

Man charged with arson following Lake Louise fire that destroyed staff residence, displacing 165 people

Video of the fire captured from the highway and posted to social media showed thick, black plumes of smoke rising from the residence.

Very sad for those employees who were staying there and lost everything.

There is a GoFundMe.

The Banff-Canmore Community Fund also has an fundraising effort in progress. Not all the people staying at the building worked at Lake Louise, some worked at other local businesses.

Winds from the south = shit humidity and heat, winds from the north = shit air quality, haze and smoke. Far as I can tell this will be the pattern for a while.

Here in NNJ we are at 107 at 8:34am - considered unhealthy for sensitive groups and just above the yellow into the orange warning. Last night we were at 138 at 7pm.

Pretty much the same here. A little lower than that today.

I agree this is vexing.
