west hollywood air quality index is okay: https://www.airnow.gov/index.cfm?action=airnow.local_city&zipcode=90048&submit=Go
downtown la and parts of koreatown are usu worse on a regular day
also the smoke only affects the air quality for just a few days

how are yall able to breathe?the smoke from these and the September fires is basically something in the sky that makes the light a bit murky. Fires in Australia can be stay-inside level choking from two hours' drive away.

this may have more to do with the direction the wind is blowing. air quality is bad up here in santa barbara. back patio covered in ash.

I went to high school in ojai. lovely place. its in a tough spot tho - very narrow valley with one two lane freeway as the main route in and out.. but I could also see the fires skipping around it too..

Looks like a small (2 acre) fire has just broken out in El Sereno. We're pretty close by in Montecito Heights and there are a bunch of fire trucks here and helicopters landing just down the street from us. Trying to figure out how concerned we should be! Bunch of smoke on the horizon but we're not close enough to see fire...

This is a lot of fires happening at once. I have my suspicions about some of them, I can't remember nearly this many occurring at the same time one right after another. I suppose it could just be conditions are perfect for it but still...

our grad student neighbor high tailed it outta here a few hours ago, so I am not surprised. It looks like BotW blood moon out here.

Yeah my good friend Stripey who works at UCSB hightailed out this morning -- she figured she was going to get a mandatory evacuation notice anyway. Currently in Pismo Beach but the smoke's up there too.
― Ned Raggett, Monday, 11 December 2017 01:02 (six years ago) link
We were in Pismo Beach and SLO since Thursday. Woke up this morning to view of smoke-filled sky in SLO and drove down to ready possible evacuation with more than the minimum this time (our cat, mostly).
― crocus bulbotuber (Sufjan Grafton), Monday, 11 December 2017 01:08 (six years ago) link
As you noted, the AQI is much better down south. So I hope we can move that way if needed. You'd have to go far north or northeast to get away in that direction.

They are lucky and have a place to go that's out of the fire zone but I'm sure many people are not that fortunate. 80mph winds currently.
