We decamped to Astoria on Monday. My wife has asthma and couldn't breath laying down Sunday night. (That is a sign her lungs were filling with fluid which turns into pneumonia) It rained on and off most of the day yesterday and the AQI dropped to 43 last night. It is back up to 115 at the moment.
I managed to find a MERV 13 air filter yesterday so when we return I can build a box fan air purifier.
(I couldn't find a box fan in Astoria or in stock online anywhere. Air filters also sold out, as are air purifiers)

We were in the Olallie Lake and Potato Butte area a few times over the last month. I'm curious to see how that area faired. According to the fire maps it burned.
