Yeah, maybe you could sit in front of a window and watch people collapse in the streets. As bad as it has been here, it hasn't reached 400 yet.
Stay safe. Don't breathe too much...

Good Lord, man!
Your AQI is off the charts.
Stay inside if possible and take care.

Did you move to Tahoe, LR or are you just visiting there for the fresh country air?
602 was the worst level I've ever seen until I looked up South Lake Tahoe just now and it says 649.
I don't know what to say. Stay safe?

Re: Air Quality
Visiting, but don’t say I didn’t warn you about next summer.
Re: Air Quality
I've always liked the Tahoe area and thought it would be nice to live there. Now I'm afraid of forests.
Good luck.

San Francisco man dies on a Death Valley hike - thermometer hit 108
Aug. 21, 2021
ASSociated Press
A 60-year-old San Francisco man died while hiking in 108-degree heat in Death Valley National Park, park rangers announced on Saturday.
The body of Lawrence Stanback was found Wednesday near Red Cathedral on the Golden Canyon Trail, a little over a mile from the trail head. The National Park Service said its staff received reports of CPR being performed on a possible heat stroke victim around 1:40 p.m. that afternoon.
Park rangers who were part of an inter-agency search and rescue operation set out into the inhospitable landscape on foot and confirmed Stanback was dead.
Strong winds prevented the California Highway Patrol from safely landing a helicopter and recovering the body. Park rangers were able to retrieve Stanback that evening, after it cooled.
Straddling California and Nevada and hunched below sea level, Death Valley has a reputation for being the hottest and driest of the national parks. Last month, it recorded a temperature of 130 degrees, 4 degrees shy of the record set in 1913, said to be the highest temperature ever measured on Earth.
The trail head has a large warning sign saying, “Stop — Extreme Heat Danger — Walking after 10 a.m. not recommended.”

Re: Air Quality
Sometimes I wonder if such deaths are intentional suicides.
For me, it is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.

Over 300 part of the day, and over 150 all day in the Sierras. I'm pulling for the wind to send the smoke over to Joe and Dales.
Re: Air Quality
Just for that I've decided to put a fan on my front lawn to blow smoke back toward your house.
