Just to rehash this slightly… because I am buzzed and annoyed.
What threshold is the IEPA looking for? A large portion of Illinois had the worst air quality on the fucking planet today.
If this isn’t a slam dunk, I don’t know what is.
Yep, 90 degree with some ozone and you better shout it from the rooftops. Smoke so thick its blocking the sun? Nah. Leave it to IL government to fuck up something so simple.

1992 when 0.30" of rain fell.
