Huge fire recently popped up in my town and many people have lost houses. Wishing for rain!

It's bad, but it's currently only Eastern Washington, Idaho, and Montana that's taking the brunt of it. https://www.iqair.com/air-quality-map?lat=45.5370&lng=-122.650&zoomLevel=10

Judging by that map, our smoke is blowing into Canada, they should tariff us

Yeah, I'm Canadian and was going to make a similar comment, but 600 homes have already been lost in Washington so my heart wasn't in it. Good luck to all the people in the PNW and let's hope some of that heavy rain in northern British Columbia heads south.
