The smoke at my house in South Jordan is so bad today I can taste the fire in the air, can see the smoke as if the fire was near (actual smoke, not just the haze usually seen), and can hardly even see homes down the street. Is there are new near by fire I am unaware of, or is this all from California?? It's WWAAAAAYYYY bad right now.

It's all from California. It hit us like a wall, one minute it was clear but hazy and heating up, I went inside to get something and came back out and I can't see the Oquirrhs from my front yard.

When the winds shift. Clear to the north, smoke to the south. This is wild…

Can Utah and other western states take some legal action against California and their bad land policies that make these fires so common?
They are causing more for respiratory issues and pollution than all the western states combined.

I'd be happy just removing all emissions requirements since it's quite clear where things are coming from...

I think its a combination, or ca id wa nv and the high low pressure that has been pushing everything into us.

My wife has asthma and we are running 3 hepa filters and she is still having issues. AirIQ says SLC has the worst air in the world.

Or, we're looking at divisive news sources just like everything else these days. 😁
Low pressure over Northern CA and central ID right now, low pressure rotates CCW, high pressure rotates CW

I delivered Idaho Falls today. Coming back, I hit the bad smoke just south of Pocatello. Box Elder and Weber counties were probably the worst.
