Believe it or not, there is a mile long island a half mile away, and it cannot be seen due to forest fire smoke. The Air Quality index is currently at 1650. It is considered unsafe for anyone to be outdoors now. And I can even smell the smoke inside the house now. There are no birbs flying around the yard and not even insects are in the air.
Usually, we can blame forest fire smoke on Canada, I do live quite close to the border. But this year, it’s our own forests that are on fire. I’m about 150 miles west of the fires and the smoke caught up with us yesterday and has just gotten worse and will remain so until the fires are put out I think.
Kind of makes me glad I’m waiting on knee surgery next week and can’t walk well enough to be out and about wandering the forest.
That’s got to be a typo and it’s 165 or something. I live in an area with lots of wildfires and I don’t think I’ve never heard of anything over like about 400.
Today’s winner is Grand Portage, an area near Thunder Bay, scoring 9 5 3.
Wait! We have a late entry!

I guess just don’t breathe?
I’ve seen ash rain from the sky. I’ve felt the heat from wildfires. Never seen numbers that high. That’s wild.
Time to build a Corsi-Rosenthal box and seal up your house.
