    The AQI was over double what I’d seen for most California smoky days. I hope the city is more prepared for the next time this happens, e.g. in terms of alerting, mask distribution, maybe something like a air filter subsidy.

    That video is wild. I had an air filter running on full blast in my office and the air quality was still pretty bad.

      I had the same experience. My desk is next to my window and it felt like I was breathing in sand, even with my air filter.

      Hopefully a once in a lifetime experience 😅
