I’ve had that same thought, I’m enjoying the falling colors without the brisk weather yet sunny weather because that stereotypical fall doesn’t exist in Oregon.

Smokes gone. Its not coming back. I predicted as much two weeks ago, when that rain came through, and got massively downvoted.
I was right tho. Told you so. Doesn't take a lot of rain to get the fire to back off enough to clear the air.

People were just full torqued rocking a doomer boner when it first came this year. Just making the wildfires about themselves. Live here and understand the risk and have some resilience or move. They’ve been a harsh reality for the past five years and before that we’d get at least one a year. This is the reality, bitching about it and panicking doesn’t help anyone.

I agree that without that rain we would have a shit September, I'm just saying, it only takes the one rain in late summer to get us a smoke free early fall. The days are shorter and nights colder in September, so the wildfire conditions won't reset until next year at earliest.
Also, it does suck is now a constant worry the otherwise lovely months of August and September.

71 on the IQAir.
I get it, its fun to just make shit up. But if you are capable of getting on the internet, then you can actually double check these bullshit claims.

Bro you are something else lol. I went outside and saw smoke in the air and could smell smoke. I'm not saying it lasted all day or anything You even looked it up and found a 71 aqi (when I looked in Eugene earlier it was 60) which is higher than normal. What's the minimum aqi for you that "counts" as there being smoke? How long does it have to last to "count" as there being smoke? Lastly, why are you so upset about it?

This low knowledge doomer posting is just stupid, so I call it out. You can go online and see that I'm right - the rain we had two weeks ago was the turning point. We haven't had a daily average over 60 since then and before that, we had 4 that were over 100.
It's weird that instead of saying "hey, you were right" people have to shitpost like you do saying "ohh its smokey now" just because you get a couple hours of a bad reading. Clearly, the smoke situation is vastly improved than before the rain.

Interesting that you've moved from "smokes gone and never coming back" and "your making shit up" to the "smoke situation is clearly improved," which I agree with, it has clearly improved. You'll also notice that I never said the smoke situation is bad right now, I only said that there was smoke. Why would I say you were right when you weren't? Unless what you commented earlier was that the smoke was improved. If you aren't able to communicate accurately maybe you shouldn't call people that disagree with what you said liars when they aren't.

This is just more shitposting. Normal humans agree, the smoke is gone, in the sense that its not really a problem for people anymore. The smoke problem is gone. Does smoke still exist? Yes! Some guy has a barbecue, HEY THERE IS SMOKE IN EUGENE! You're right there. Smoke still exists in Eugene. But is the smoke problem gone? Yes it is.
We had a rain, and that fixed the smoke problem. You can pretend this is false, but its not false. Its true. The rain came, and it fixed the smoke problem.

"We had a rain, and that fixed the smoke problem. You can pretend this is false, but its not false." If you read my last comment and have any sort of reading comprehension, there is no way you could come to the conclusion that I believe this. In fact, I never implied that even once lol. My original comment was just to point out the humor in the fact that you were so adamant about there was no smoke when a little bit popped back up.
