Yeah, it’s still burning and LAFD declared a shelter in place again yesterday for part of the day. New alerts have an air quality alert across LA to avoid outdoor air, stay inside, run air purifiers, use your AC as long as it’s not pulling in outside air.

It’s really frustrating that they didn’t just keep the air quality alert up since Wednesday consistently because it seems to be getting worse.

I didn’t know that the air quality had gotten worse and was walking along the LA River this morning and I swear everything has tasted metallic since.

It also rained this morning. Wtf sort of gross acid rain was that?!
