Wind never came up enough today to bother. I’m hoping for tomorrow. Larry Goodson \\ **bflannelly50** \\ 09/12/20 #27578 An AQI of 755? I must be using a different website-Wunderground shows a mere 596 here in White Salmon. However, when I drove over the Hood River bridge yesterday you could barely see the water below. No whitewater or downwinders for this guy again today\\ One of The Brians **Paul Reavley** \\ 09/12/20 #27579 [[https://grist.org/climate/oregons-air-quality-is-so-far-beyond-hazardous-that-no-one-knows-what-it-means-for-health/|https://grist.org/climate/oregons-air-quality-is-so-far-beyond-hazardous-that-no-one-knows-what-it-means-for-health/]]
