Truth is like the sun.
You can shut it out for a time
but it ain't goin' away.

This is another daytime afternoon photo due to the fire.Taken last week.
The Air Quality Index (AQI) is an index for reporting daily air quality. It tells you how clean or polluted and what associated health effects might be a concern for you. The AQI goes from 0-500. The higher the AQI value, the greater the level of air pollution and the greater the health concern. 201-300 is very unhealthy and 301-500 is hazardous. These two levels is where we have been for the last week in the Sacramento area. The highest level I saw was 444. I read that Northern CA has the worst air quality in the world at this time.
This is so terrible. I guess because you are in a valley, the air doesn’t really circulate as well as it does on flat land....my heart breaks for everyone in your area right now, beyond devastating.
