Would you rather the media say nothing and then be shocked when something happens?

Here it comes! At least it dissipates throughout the day. Comes in overnight. Time shown is local time.

Fairly hazy/smokey out there. Nothing at ground level though as there's no smell.

Forest fire just started about 30 minutes from me at Port Mellon. Scary.

Smoke moved in today, it was here before the fire started. Air quality running around 60. https://www.iqair.com/ca/air-quality-ma ... ia/sechelt

Anyone know when we can expect the winds to change and blow the smoke away?

Sat outside for a few minutes and saw one faint Perseid meteor. The smoke isn't helping, another reason to hope it goes soon.
