Smokestorms

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


We’re having smoke from forest fires and wild fires (grasslands and brush) invading the Puget Sound area for a few days.  Normally, we have some of the cleanest air you can find in any city in the world.

Not so much now!

Right now, we’re at the “Hazardous to Everyone” level of air pollution. Sunday, it was just “Unhealthy for Vulnerable Populations” and at that level I could take 25-30 minutes outside before I got nauseous and started coughing, along with a horrible headache. I cut my grocery shopping trip short because I just got too sick to keep going. Today and the next 2 days I’ve learned I can only handle about 10 to 15 minutes outside before I get sick.

We have worse air quality now than cities in CHINA and INDIA for pete’s sake!

Check out these recent pics from downtown Seattle, just across the sound from me, and keep in mind– it is SUNNY today and yesterday and for the next few days. This is bright afternoon light here, not morning or evening. There are NO clouds. This is pure smoke in the air that is causing the dismal lighting.

The problem is that forest fires in British Columbia are putting out vast quantities of smoke (that can be traced to Northern Europe!) and the winds shifted south. As the Puget Sound is like a bowl, the air is getting trapped here. Until we get winds blowing west again (which is typical, except for some winter storms and late summer) we’ll be inundated with this stuff.

They have advisaries all over the place to close doors and windows, use air conditioners instead of fans, and turn on all air purifiers and leave them running. Oh– and NO fires of any kind for any reason, a “Stage 1 total ban” is in effect. And– we’re not supposed to vacuum of all things. For people who don’t have A.C. and cool off by using window fans at night, and temps reaching so high and sticking around through the night (as smoke helps hold heat in) life must be fucking miserable right now!

THIS is what Seattle looks like from my town of “Charming”–! Normally, we can see it clear as a bell. Now? GROSS.

I think this is the worst I’ve ever seen in my life. I thought last year was bad! This tops it easily!

My weather alert says this on my old Ipod:

And outside where I live it’s like a dank fog, except eerily still. The heat doesn’t help the situation either. We’re going into upper 80s up to 90 again for a couple of days.

Just seeing from one end our our property to the other is almost impossible. Those distant looking trees in the “fog” are just at the far side of our 6 acres, and you can barely make them out! The weird yellow tone doesn’t seem to translate in my simple ipod pics, so it looks like white fog, but it’s not white, trust me– more like a very light amber.

The sun looks pink or coral in the sky, and the light takes on this sepia tone that just feels frankly bizarre to see. We got it last year too, and that was pretty strange. Now…? Now it’s downright unsettling!
