East Coast is finally getting a taste of what West Coast summers have been like for the past decade(s).
I wonder if we’d be taking climate change more seriously if it was the other way around; considering there’s 10x as many people on the eastern states/provinces.
yea, @conthelibrarian isn’t talking about smog, they’re talking about wildfire smoke. the seattle area was well into the 400’s multiple times over the last 5 years in particular, though i can’t recall or find how high it went.
I’m in the same general area, and it’s wild how bad it’s been both today and yesterday. Makes you want to avoid going outside entirely.

Not even… LA smog is around 120 on the AQI, we were seeing levels past 450. My area had a peak of 456. This is far, far worse.
Western NY for reference.
Actually yes even.
Up in Canada we also get AQIs in the 300s-400s due to smoke from Cali, or just the general fire season.
LA /= all of West Coast.
