It's weird in that it is only hitting the Calgary area. All around us air quality is better. But it's bad out there right now.

I can barely see across the road. At least if you look straight up there is a little blue to be seen.

No one wishes for forest fires and smoke, but the monkey paw does not give without consequence.

Everyone knew what the consequences would be. And some people still cheered it on.

Tornado warnings out for Sylvan and Gull Lake areas as well as Bentley

Looks like that was from an hour or so ago

Did we experience a temperature inversion that caused the smoke to settle into Calgary?

Death Valley heat melts skin off a man’s feet after he lost his flip-flops in the dunes

Quote:
According to a National Park Service news release, the 42-year-old Belgian tourist was taking a short walk Saturday in the Mesquite Flat Sand Dunes in 123-degree heat when he either broke or lost his flip-flops, putting his feet into direct contact with the desert ground. The result: third-degree burns.

“The skin was melted off his foot,” said Death Valley National Park Service Ranger Gia Ponce. “The ground can be much hotter — 170, 180 [degrees]. Sometimes up into the 200 range.”
Quote:
Unable to get out on his own and in extreme pain, the man and his family recruited other park visitors to help; together, the group carried him to the sand dunes parking lot, where park rangers assessed his injuries.

Though they wanted a helicopter to fly him out, helicopters can’t generate enough lift to fly in the heat-thinned air over the hottest parts of Death Valley, officials said. So park rangers summoned an ambulance that took him to higher ground, where it was a cooler 109 degrees and he could then be flown out.
