For those of you who are not here in SLC, the smoke blowing in from the fires farther west is brutal. I just went outside. Visibility is poor, eyes burning, and it smells like I’m sitting next to the campfire with the smoke blowing straight at me.
We relocated from CA to UT last november. We can’t escape the smoke, although this isn’t as bad as the camp fire last year. It would be nice to have a fire free summer again.
The models on how the smoke travels was pretty interesting. I don’t ever remember it being this bad in 38 years of Utah living.
I drove up to Washington in a single day for a job interview about four years back. Pretty much from Boise to Portland couldnt see more than 500 feet in any direction.
They even showed SLC skies on the local news here in the Great Plains. Used it to lead into how some of that smoke could be arriving here on Sunday. We’ve already had some smoke the last few days, but the trajectory was more from Canada.
I have Covid.
Yes, pretty rough symptoms.
Yes, I was vaccinated.
And this smoke is making my lungs hurt even worse.
I may head to the hospital even if my oxygen is ok.
I’m having a hard time breathing.
