But unfortunately I think all of us in the PNW are going to die. Either the fires will get us or the ash and smoke in the air will.

Y’all can’t die without allowing us to call dibs on your cars.

You should convince all the bearded double IPA drinking yuppies in that area to install a carbon filter in their beards to help clear the air! :)

Brilliant! I have a beard but I don’t drink beer very much. Do you think it will still work on me?

At least I know where your loyalty lies.

Exactly where mine would! But fine. I'll update as my health worsens. I predict I'll be a goner by this time tomorrow.

164 here. The air is dense. Glad the home and car are air conditioned.

Strangely enough, even though yesterday had record breaking temperatures for the day, it didn’t feel nearly as hot as it should have. The forehead never started pouring sweat like it normally would have.

Possible acceptable tradeoff.

I’ll just plant some shrubs in mine. Greenery cleans the air, right?

Depends, are you a fan of the Hipster shot?

One part bathtub gin, one part some organic shit. Put it in the microwave for 1 minute. Then drink it before it is cool.

If the answer is yes...then it should work perfectly :)

Pendleton, OR, is currently at 210.

The Southeast and South Central spends a lot of the spring and summer in the 51-100 range, but this is pretty nuts. So much for that Pacific breeze blowing everything away.

Most stations around Seattle were reporting AQI over 200 this morning. La ke Forest Park recorded 311 at 4am. We had at least a few hours of ashfall yesterday evening. Fun summer!

When I was in Nam, the air pollution was steadily above 100 for a few weeks. It was absolutely horrendous. I can’t fathom 170's.... Stay safe friend.

Never heard of that and it sounds gross. So I'm definitely going to die

Makes sense since a lot of the sun's light isn't getting through

Holy shit 311! To be honest I just checked for the first time last night. I had no idea it was this bad.

Worse yet, it’s gonna be 90 degrees here. So my house is gonna cook and I can’t go outside. I have a wall-unit AC... I guess there’s a filter in there...

08/21/2018 at 09:32

I’m jealous. 94 here. And my shop is always open to outside. I'm definitely going to die.

It’s bad. Right now I am on the 9th floor of a building, looking west and north, and I can say without hesitation that I have never seen it like this. It’s like a thick fog on a drizzly winter day, but it isn’t cold, it is more brown, and you can definitely smell it.

My cousin lives in Brier - if you like a 70s planned bedroom community, I know a place for you. Probably a nice commute if you work in Northgate, but even that would stress my sanity working on the eastside.

Well, we’re ALL going to die. In fact, we’re all dying as we speak.

I think it was worse here last year during the eagle creek fire. Lots more particulate falling from the sky. But you can definitely smell the campfire.

I just washed and waxed the Taco, just in time for a bunch of ash to rain down on it.

I work in Anacortes, I think I win the poor air-quality contest today. Where I live in Bellingham it’s a bit better, down in the 160s.

On a side note, wanna hear a really unpleasant experience? Last summer I was living down in Portland when the Eagle Creek fire was going on. I had my 2nd-gen 4Runner parked outside for the entire duration of that, didn’t drive it once as I had my E36 then too and just happened to be using that to get around. The next time I happen to decide to drive the 4Runner I was very careful to rinse off the glass with the hose as to not scratch it etc, finally get in and start it up. U nbeknownst to me, the fan was set to high and vents pointed at the driver’s face ANDDD FACEFUL OF ASH! Did you know 2nd gen 4Runners don’t have cabin air filters? Because 2nd gen 4Runners do not have cabin air filters.

Do you win? Or do you lose?

That does sound unpleasant. It was really bad during that here last year. My dumb ass went mountain biking in hood river during that time.

Last time the winds actually dumped ash (the winds blew the ash from the Thomas Fire away from me, and I think I was too close to really get a lot of ash) I was so concerned about the ash getting wet on the cars I would pick my mom up at 2am from work so I could keep the cars in the garage. Priorities man.

One of those is dangerous and one is bad for your health. It's a little breezy here today. I'm hoping that will help, but it could bring more.
