This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Not even... LA smog is around 120 on the AQI, we were seeing levels past 450. My area had a peak of 456. This is far, far worse.
Western NY for reference.
Actually yes even.
Up in Canada we also get AQIs in the 300s-400s due to smoke from Cali, or just the general fire season.
LA /= all of West Coast.
yea, @conthelibrarian isn't talking about smog, they're talking about wildfire smoke. the seattle area was well into the 400's multiple times over the last 5 years in particular, though i can't recall or find how high it went.
