I am a bit further north of @jcam222 and think it's bit worse.

Wind shifted today out of the SW. Not bad, I have ribs in the pit.
Clear skies and no humidity today. An old AF buddy lives in Minnesota and I feel for the dude.
It's been horrible in mid Wisconsin. On Thursday the air quality was at 460. Planes could not see to land at the EAA event in Oshkosh. So, you guys that know smoke, what air quality is a good smoke on the grill? 500? We get a brake, for now. Saturday afternoon it's coming back. 90 degrees and smokey. I feel like a pig!
For sure. My neighbor worked in Sandusky all day yesterday and said it was far worse.
Pretty bad.......Not much can be done. Rain would help.
I remember a few years back hardly being able to make out the Golden Gate Bridge from across the bay. It was when we had all of those wild fires in northern California.
With the high pressure ridge was parked over the northern part of the state the smoke was coming down the valley and blowing going out to sea. It was weird living in an orange world for a week. I certainly don't miss it.

How about you all start acting like adults and getting along. You all know the conduct you should follow on this site.

Rain last night and huge storm today. All gone!!! I never saw any blame or projection just facts. Some folks gotta chill!
God Bless the men and women attempting to control these fires! I am glad we have firefighters for these events. Again, GOD BLESS THE FIREFIGHTERS!

I'm assuming that my light-hearted joke got deleted because it's gone.
Yes it did. Our job as moderators is to keep this place stress free and where people want to come visit without the bs that is encountered other places. Not to add any drama but I'm replying to you here to say we are not perfect. And some of the comments I deleted included my own... to only delete certain comments makes a thread make no sense. The comments I deleted were because I thought the thread starter was being given a hard time. I didn't know it was quotes from the movie Stripes... until it was pointed out to me after several days. So yes, I did delete it... it was in a text I took the wrong way. We try our best... but definitely not perfect!

Most definitely! As a recent burn victim in January I totally understand. Talked to a firefighter over the 4th that was burned badly fighting a fire. Mine was 1st and second degree burns, mainly on my right arm that I lost most of that skin, it was an accident. The firefighter I talked to had most of his chest burned, because he chose to be on the fire department... won't go into what he endured in his recovery.
So yes... God Bless all the firefighters!

It does suck about the fires , but like mentioned the ones a couple years ago were worse , for you guys and us..
As of Sunday there were over 900+ forest fires across Canada. That sucks and most all started from ' lightning strikes so they say. And most are in BC and Ontario. And the smoke is terrible for us and you folks south of the boarder. They are working non stop to try and contain and put out.
The fires a couple years back were way to close to our house here in Nova Scotia, and we were on the next list to be told to get out. We were very nervous and very lucky. Many were not and lost everything.
So now on Thursday a fire started down the Eastern shore of Nova Scotia in the middle of the woods , but there were many homes on the back roads. They were all ordered to leave as not too many ways out if they got caught because of the high winds.
And yes the Eastern Shore is where our new land and 90% finished building are at, while the fire is not real close the first area that had mandatory evacuation was just 4 minutes up the road......
So again very nervous, as I have been working on this for a year so far from the ground up and not really happy with that news,
So as of this morning the fire is contained , with a little help from some very much needed rain and the boots on the ground and the extra water boomers brought in.
We even had the smoke from upper Canada blowing this way .
