I'm in Brooklyn and sometime mid-afternoon I walked out into my living room to it being completely dark inside and orange out my windows. Local AQI has said 330-350 all afternoon.
And somehow this is a lot better than when I was in Delhi one winter. Some nights I'd see 500+, and there wasn't much escape from it in our airbnb in hauz khas, I'd just sleep with a keffiyeh around my face. People are living like this almost daily in cities around the world, to the point where the locals are sort of just used to it. Pretty depressing, but hopefully we'll start doing something about it.
