Wildfire season sucks.
Here's the map in case anyone is curious to zoom in and look around.
When we first moved to Seattle, there was no such thing as fire season and no need for AC. Our AQI this year so far has been surprisingly terrific, but I’m sure we will get bad smoke before the rain comes again. I’m really feeling nostalgic for those long summers of perfect weather. It’s so stressful - especially with family who has asthma. Hope y’all are all hanging in there!
Yeah.
And we have it easy compared to western Canada.
That's not a comparison we should be having IMO. 10 wildfires is to many wildfires, regardless of being naturally caused or not.
What do the colored in regions represent? Area that's on fire, evacuation zone, or something else?
Each little red flame icon is a unique fire currently burning. If the fire gets big enough, they fill in a pink shaded area with a red outline to show the area that has burned so far.
Looks exactly like OR/WA wildfires for 26 July. Weird.
Fixed the title.
