AQ improved to 211 here. Wonder if we’re actually going to get a break from this, it was supposed to be moving out this afternoon but it still looks hazy as hell.

Stms moving through. Rains helping clear the air. Very nice break

Just a light haze now, but sooo nice having the windows open.

The storms were 4 hours early as a beefcake MCS is plowing through. Its been a long time since I've had a 'awn storm. You couldn't see the darkness coming til it was right on top nearly. Curious if the smoke caused that. Fr. lightning with constant thunder, going to be shy of an inch after its not moving fast and I see some backbuilding.
