NYC yesterday. Pic taken by my son.

I have borderline asthma, so going outside feels pretty bad to me right now. Has improved since this morning though. I woke up dizzy and stuffed up.

Have all the air cleaners turned up to maximum now.

Ick. I hope he had no symptoms.

Supposed to be on an outdoor night tour in DC Saturday. Is it supposed to be better by then, or not until Sunday? Also, best site to check - still Wapo Weather Gang?

I went out this AM to run errands. Nearly vomited in the car. Put on an N-95 I found in the pocket of the door. Helped.

When I watered plants an hour ago, much better but the wind was really moving things. Haze has improved as well. This is Great Falls.

Code Orange for much of our area now.

Where are you that it was only 160 this morning?

Alexandria. This was at 5:30 in the morning. It was smokey out for sure, but I felt fine breathing. 12 hours later, and I continue to feel completely fine/normal.

It wasn't, unless they were out at 5am. They got misled by an out of date report.

5 am is prime time for morning runners.

Yup. Because we have to go to work and not sit at home all day, so I ran at 5:30 and it said 160. So I went to try, and kept going because I felt fine.

Problem was the smoke arrived quite suddenly at around that time, so unless you ran just a few minutes, it was at more than 200 by the time you ended.

I checked, and it increased to like 182. Yes, not great, but also fine for many people without health/lung issues.

Why do you care that this other person ran when the air quality was bad? They seem to have been fine with it. Their workout won't harm your lungs. I personally wouldn't have gone running this morning, but I can't imagine arguing with someone back and forth about whether they should or shouldn't have done it or whether they did or didn't understand what the AQI was at the time.
