Hot up north again, but thankfully we've barely been going above 30. The smoke is the worst part.

My son's mother is from AZ and I laughed my rear end off several years ago when we were watching a Seahawks@Cardinals game on tv and the big story was that the governor had declared a state of emergency because they were flooded from 2 inches of rain. She helped me understand that they never really get rain like that so there's no infrastructure to deal with it. Still hilarious for me, being from Oregon.

We are now up to 9(!) Severe Weather Warnings. I think that the people writing the warnings may not be speaking to each other. PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... For your protection move to an interior room on the lowest floor of a building. Large hail and damaging winds and continuous cloud to ground lightning is occurring with this storm. Move indoors immediately. Lightning is one of nature's leading killers. Remember, if you can hear thunder, you are close enough to be struck by lightning. Torrential rainfall is occurring with this storm, and may lead to flash flooding. Do not drive your vehicle through flooded roadways.

The smoke got extremely bad here again. This morning it smelled disgusting, it was very similar to beer-soaked cigarette ash. This evening it went back to smelling like concentrated campfire, but it was so thick I could see it indoors and it hurt to breathe. Combined with another heat wave, I feel like I'm dying.

Smoke in north Idaho had visibility down to about 500 yards the other morning. Running a 30" tall air filter in the house non-stop and hitting an inhaler before I go outside. I walk out the door and my first breathe feels like I stuck my head into a campfire. I can be out and about for an hour until the asthma kicks in. I haven't had asthma attacks in 25 years. Should hit 90F today. Luckily the local fires are somewhat contained, so not too likely to have everything burn to the ground, just smoldering out a ton of smoke. Sun color is currently orange.

Social media is full of people whining about how Banff has asked people to stay away this weekend in the event of an evacuation, it's not fair that city folk can't visit to see the smoke hide the views of the mountains then cause hours of gridlock traffic out of the area. There was a small fire just outside Canmore two days ago and it was chaos because they shut one of two highways down to fight the fire and people were trapped in traffic for hours, and that's with no evacuations at all. Imagine if ten thousand other people all had to flee at the same time all the weekend warriors were done their hike of the day.

Chatter in outdoors social media groups allege at least one person died and that if the helicopter could land, they may have survived.
