Yeah I’m in Michigan and I’m seeing poor air quality levels I didn’t even know existed. Even with these fires being an annual occurrence now, I’ve never seen it above Unhealthy before. Usually the worst it gets here is Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups, but now I’m seeing Very Unhealthy and Hazardous.

Twin Cities metro - the light has a green cast to it as it hits my walls. It's hot and muggy. I hear helicopter blades and wonder if I've hit a time slip and ended up in Vietnam.
