AQI - Air Quality Index checker

[Norwestr55]

I've got 3-4 of them I've been watching and I get pretty wildly differing numbers from each of them. It doesn't really make a
difference though as they're all really high numbers.

9/13/2020 just south of Stone Creek Golf C. visibility 50yrds.
So many fires near Oregon City and Estacada need to be air attacked. As does all of Oregon.
Wonder if the 747 tanker is available at $250,000. a day . Thats half a house out here in the rural farm country..I heard fire retardant is in short supply. The mega tanker can dump 19,000 gal./run Four times a helocopter.

Be Safe

Edit: Now at 8:30 visibility is 25yrds. to my gate in pasture. Must be combo of fog/smoke. index 500 something.

 

[Ops]

I think the smoke is holding up the use of air attack on these fires.

Says 431 right now, in east Vancouver. This is the view from my front door this morning. Can barely see neighbor's house across the street.

First time I've "seen" the sun in over a week...
At 0830 in Kennewick, AQI = 178, viz at 3/4 mile

Looks the same here - but the AQI is broken in 97058.

It HAS to be lower than it has been all week!

Hopeful the accompanying thunder storms will be minimal.

Agreed! Thunder is fine, hopefully any lightning will be cloud-to-air.

Yup, where the very air is a poisonous fume!
Even Smaug would not go there!
