Just got n95s and a replacement heap filter for the smoke tomorrow. I’ll be keeping my pets in too, unfortunately nothing we can do for the poultry and sheep.

My bet is this will be worse than modeled. Very thick layer of smoke from the surface up to 10km :sick:

Major intrusion of wildfire smoke on Sunday morning shown on the high resolution model. Absolutely horrible air quality if it verifies. :sick: :sick: :sick:

At my folks' place on the base of the north slope of Mt Baldy in Kelowna where there is a forest. (It's a quiet neighbourhood that's kinda in Rutland, north Dilwoth and North Glenmore). This picture was a couple hours ago. Embers in the area now. My mom said the roads are plugged with people voluntarily evacuating.
