    Not even… LA smog is around 120 on the AQI, we were seeing levels past 450. My area had a peak of 456. This is far, far worse.

    Western NY for reference.

      Actually yes even.

      Up in Canada we also get AQIs in the 300s-400s due to smoke from Cali, or just the general fire season.

      LA /= all of West Coast.

      yea, @conthelibrarian isn’t talking about smog, they’re talking about wildfire smoke. the seattle area was well into the 400’s multiple times over the last 5 years in particular, though i can’t recall or find how high it went.
