People have been warned to not go outside. The air is heavy with particles in addition to smoke. I observed a woman across the street walking a child in a stroller. She must be nuts. I am glad I am in a air conditioned building with good venting
When the smoke gets heavy around here, with, (sometimes) particles of ash, we stay in. Absolutely no way we will go out in it. We do see some young folks out in it, but they are young, not even close to our age. Guess they can handle it better.
