OrdIowPitMsp Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 AQI is 483 right now in Minneapolis. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torchageddon Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 Mine is 285, by far the highest I've ever seen. Looking out in the pitch I see what looks like fog particles and falling, but its likely another 3 let word. WUN keeps getting got that there is rain nearby or that its possible - its picking up the radar artifacts from the ash up in the sky. God help us if it actually rains.

Good times Your forced to work in that? From COD: Quote Update (7/15/2026 19:18:26): On Wednesday, July 15, 2026 at 20:23Z/GMT, a GOES-19 / GOES-EAST satellite anomaly occurred which sent the satellite into "safe" mode. Recovery is underway, but it may take days or longer for imagery to resume production. Until then, no GOES-EAST imagery of the US or the Atlantic will be available. We apologize for the inconvenience. ---Nexlab Staff WTF? Where is the sight now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
