RCNYILWX Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 Shit like this makes me think the Air Quality Alert issuance decision should be given to the NWS and taken away from the state idiots. Since that's what the 2nd paragraph of their statement implies, and they apparently only see their role as alerting sensitive groups, I tend to agree. Behind the scenes, there's bureaucratic stuff with IDEM that we've had to sort out, but they've been very proactive in putting out AQAs, just like all the other state EPAs have been in this stretch, with the exception of the IL EPA.

Leave it to IL government to fuck up something so simple. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CheeselandSkies Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 AQI 186 at Madison according to my phone. Worst I've ever seen. Can smell that "burnt plastic," too and my nose isn't very sensitive so if I can smell it it's bad.Sent from my Pixel 4a using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheClimateChanger Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 As much as I like to blame climate change, I do wonder if some of this isn't being caused or exacerbated by arsonists and woke firefighting policies. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeye_wx Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 The thick smoke has moved out of my area. It's still hazy, but the sun is brighter and the smell is much less. The west shore of Lake Michigan looks to be stuck in this crap for quite a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
