It is a little strange seeing people experiencing this for the first time and it being treated as a huge news story when it's such a common occurrence for anybody west of Nebraska.

For real. And if your cars are outside I highly suggest washing them and then covering them or putting them inside if you can. That ash eats paint.

Hey if you're allies with the guy burning down my house, you're burning down my house too!

[cusideabelincoln]

212 here, southwest of Indianapolis. WTF.

 

And my redneck neighbors like burning actual trash every other night - yes, right in the middle of a city block. They had an almost uncontrollable fire come near my garage last week.

[silentbob]

I’m at 167 near Hamilton and Toronto is at 185 right now. It smells like a campfire and it gets uncomfortable after maybe 5-10min out there

 I just pictured a giant mob of people burning down a house yelling "Fuck you!" "This is what you get!" and a gentle but audible "Sorry!" from waaay in the back.

Get used to it. It's going to be a hot, smoky summer in much of the US
