User ID: 47078230 Canada 06/07/2023 01:28 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | We need rain. And lots if it. Don’t know if this is true, they are saying the Native people start a lot of them. They want ‘their” land back. The native people do not own my land. I bought and paid for it. In fact they have been paid over and over again. Welfare, no taxes etc. I don’t think the world would last very long if white people were killed off. |

(OP) User ID: 78157871 United States 06/07/2023 01:36 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | [link to map.purpleair.com (secure)] Quoting: Anonymous Coward 85935754 Rochester/Auburn area approaching 400 AQI as we speak. Auburn has a 409 AQI average over the last 10 minutes. " >300: Health warning of emergency conditions: everyone is more likely to be affected with 24 hours of exposure. " This is serious Is there anyone left in Cali that can make a claim that this level ^ AQI is common with wildfires [link to en.wikipedia.org (secure)] So scrolling down to "AQI mechanics" in the link above it tells you about how the concentration of pollutants in the air is associated with a certain air quality index. So after determining this, I did a scholar search on some of the highest PM2.5/ AQI indices from around Cali JUST using the pollutant as a result of wildfires, NOT other forms of it. That paper is below. [link to www.sciencedirect.com (secure)] What I found was surpising and worrisome. Scroll down to figure 6. It will show you the "maximum wildfire-specific" PM2.5 concentrations, which would result in a high AQI. It DOES NOT CREEP OVER 400, except for one small spot near the border of Cali and Nevada shown in black, near Carson City I believe. The time interval this paper uses is from "2006-2020." Half of NY was over 400 just in the last 8 hours! Something aint right here folks. Also, many papers stating that Wildfire PM2.5 is significantly more dangerous than typical PM2.5 and can induce very sudden mortality to those affected, especially in people who have not been "partially" exposed to such pollutants. Meaning people are much more sensitive in places like upstate NY where the air is cleaner than most places to this kind of danger without previously being "warmed up" to it. Stay Tuned Rooster |

User ID: 83861127 Canada 06/07/2023 01:51 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | yep it's feels like I am around smokers again. I remember when I was young being stuck in car full of them all puffing away on their cigarettes. This was back in the day when no one gave a thought to second hand smoke. I ended up with a scratchy throat after the car ride. It was like I had smoked cigarettes myself. |

The remaining 8 arent looking too good. Our cattle look fatigued and several are drooling excessively. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78322056 Now that is alarming ! Plagues in the Bible, 1/3rd of earth will die. Wonder if it is starting :( |

User ID: 85810364 United States 06/07/2023 01:59 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | And there's a weird low-pressure system off the eastern Canadian coast that's just sitting there, even moving to the southwest, the "wrong" direction for weather to move. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 85385885 And the vortex high over the Arctic is rotating the "wrong" way, clockwise instead of counterclockwise. What is causing the high pressure that causes a clockwise rotation in the northern hemisphere, where there is normally low pressure? HAARP has possibly manipulated seasonal weather patterns leading to uncommon high and low pressure setups. Case in point: It's June in the NC Piedmont and we've been having high temperatures 15-20 below average the last few weeks. Moisture and storms streaming north to south instead of west to east. Something is up. this is an attack. They manipulated the jet stream first, then set off the fires. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 72215862 United States 06/07/2023 02:03 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Here in NNJ, it’s worse now than it was yesterday, which was pretty bad. Here in macungie PA, it is really bad right now with the smoke. The lights are coming on outside. It looks like 8:30 at night and it's 1 pm. Cannot see the sun, the sky or the hills. Visibility is down to 1.5 miles . Normal is 10 miles. The air is yellow/ brown and choking with a campfire smell outside. I lived in LA and it was never this bad for this long of time. I have had just the fan on inside house because the temps will not rise above 75 degrees and the lows are too cool to run the AC only since yesterday afternoon when the smoke first happened. The air is being filtered by the ac fan People are getting sick and 911 is getting swamped with calls about the smoke/fire. We are under a red air quality alert, no one should even go outside, outside activities are being canceled including baseball games. Furthermore, we are also a red flag warning for no burning, a drought watch/warning and we have had no rain in over six weeks, |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 85910868 United States 06/07/2023 02:19 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It’s now at 436 ppm at Parsippany, northern NJ, and 45 miles to the west, just south of Stroudsburg, eastern PA, it’s at a whopping 519 ppm. This has all the makings of a disaster. The hospitals are going to get hammered tomorrow, once the delayed effects of this take hold. The <2.5um particles in the smoke can leave the lungs and go into the bloodstream, causing the blood to thicken. This can lead to heart attacks and strokes, which may not present for a day or so after exposure. |

It’s fairly obvious China had their agents burn Canada in response |

Hazy skies, wierd pink sun, smoky air and stinks like burnt plastic. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 42827416 Ballston Lake here....we just went up to 187 AQI, 13 away from the purple and 2nd worst rating. Hey neighbor. Yellow sky, tons of smoke and a weird smell up here in the Adirondacks. |

Those fires were ignited simultaneously, that’s for certain; highly unnatural. |
