Maria Langer | 📝 🎬 ⚒️🛥️<p>Today's air quality forecast is "purple." It's red now, 152, unhealthy. I've seen it get into the 400s but not recently. It looks like most of the smoke is coming from fires north of me. No wind to speak of, which is good for firefighting but bad for us. <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/SmokeSeason" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SmokeSeason</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/WildFireSmoke" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WildFireSmoke</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/wildfires" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>wildfires</span></a></p>

Charlie McHenry<p>We’re getting smoky skies and diminished air quality in Southern Oregon’s Rogue Valley - from fires just across the border in N. Calif’s Siskiyou County. I count 12 fires, the largest ones are 0% contained. We’re waiting desperately for the first rains of Fall, which are predicted next week. We’ll see how that goes. <a href="https://connectop.us/tags/SouthernOregon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SouthernOregon</span></a> <a href="https://connectop.us/tags/Oregon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Oregon</span></a> <a href="https://connectop.us/tags/RogueValley" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RogueValley</span></a> <a href="https://connectop.us/tags/wildfires" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>wildfires</span></a> <a href="https://connectop.us/tags/WildfireSmoke" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WildfireSmoke</span></a> <a href="https://connectop.us/tags/GlobalWarming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GlobalWarming</span></a> <a href="https://connectop.us/tags/ClimateChange" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ClimateChange</span></a></p>
J<p>The best example I can give for how wildfire smoke settles into an area is by comparing it to the Great Smog of 1952 that killed and injured thousands in London. <br>You can see the layer of smoke in my pictures of the sunrise this morning. <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/wildfiresmoke" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>wildfiresmoke</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/pnw" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>pnw</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/AirPollution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AirPollution</span></a></p>

As Seen From Buck Hill<p>Sunrise and full moonset this morning, Aug 9th, from Buck Hill!</p><p>I had not been following the phase of the moon, so it was a beautiful surprise when I started the hike up this morning and started seeing the light of the full moon peaking through the trees. I think there must still be some wildfire smoke in the air, as the moon was almost invisible as it approached the horizon. The sun fared a little better, even though there were considerable clouds out over the Atlantic. I added in a shot of the early morning light shining on the rocky ledge at the top of the hill. </p><p><a href="https://c.im/tags/BuckHill" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BuckHill</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/BlueHills" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BlueHills</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/BlueHillsReservation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BlueHillsReservation</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Boston" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Boston</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/BostonWX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BostonWX</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/BostonMA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BostonMA</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Landscape" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Landscape</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/LandscapePhotography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LandscapePhotography</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Photography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Photography</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/LongDistanceObservations" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LongDistanceObservations</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Weather" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Weather</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Sunrise" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Sunrise</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/FullMoon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FullMoon</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/MoonSet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MoonSet</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Dawn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Dawn</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/WildfireSmoke" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WildfireSmoke</span></a></p>

Cainmark Does Not Comply 🚲<p>Air quality was much better today so bicycled for a nice 15 miles. I slept through the thunderstorms that tore up so many trees from mile marker 27 to mile marker 21 on the Root River Trail. Trail was cleared by locals and DNR of Minnesota really well.

Nonilex<p><a href="https://masto.ai/tags/Smoke" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Smoke</span></a> exposure can also worsen other <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/medical" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>medical</span></a> conditions.
