Anybody else getting this where they live? This is pretty brutal. I have to train in my garage in about 20 minutes and it smells like a campfire in my house. Shut all of the windows but man this is rough.

It's absolutely terrible in the Mansfield area. Between the haze and the smell, this is the worst day of it that we have had.

Cincinnati is smoky af. So obviously I felt the need to put in a 3 mile round trip walk to McDonald’s for lunch.

I'm postponing the workout. Hard pass on training in a chimney.

Bad here in Akron/Canton area too. It seems like California always has a fire and I don't remember gettting their smoke this bad.

I just assumed this was all coming straight down from Eastern Canadia. Much shorter trip.

I thought it was in BC which is west coast?

My fiancee smokes, which I can't stand, but her Marlboro's are a breath of fresh air compared to this crap.

You could be right, my assumption was based on the last time the east coast got a bunch of smoke. I'm pretty sure that came from eastern Canada.

Looks like their fires are all over the country, so East and West. We probably are getting it from the East.

Actually it smells more like burning plastic than a campfire so that would explain the headache.

I saw this warning is in effect until midnight in NE Ohio. Just got off the phone with a candidate in the Buffalo area and it's pretty bad over there too.

I guess I’m in the minority but I just don’t notice the smell or anything different besides the obvious haze, despite the AQI being around 200 here.

Chicago had the worst air in the world yesterday. It was awful. Supposed to last until Thursday evening. I had to cancel my plans for a cigar last night and instead just put down an extra blantons.

In NC Ohio, I smelled smoke when I left home, but if I didn't know about this and see the haze, I'd just assume someone in the general vicinity was burning stuff.
