Have the Fires calmed down enough so everyone can breath? I've been having trouble with some kind of liquid in lungs. Having to rinse out sinuses toot up on inhalers. When leave the house take wash cloth I can wet and breath through. Thanks

I'm feeling the effects too. Stuffy nose, some difficulty breathing - but as long as I remain in my office building - I get some relief. I'm using a mask to go to my car and building. Its getting very scary .... I'm wondering if I should try to head to clearer air for the weekend.... BTW, I'm in the San Francisco Bay area

I'm in the Santa Rosa area much worse here. Was in S. San Francisco area for 2 days for hospital. Had to get MASKS to go home. Stay off the roads there's no place in Calif where there is no fires.

You're lucky to be back in Santa Rosa air. It's improved to AQI 91 (yuck) San Francisco is taking on all the smoke that has drifted from the fires here.... it is AQI 164 and rising :( Scary stuff!!! Breath well, Namzug2
