Intense smoke from historic wildfires that is filling emergency rooms in the West is now clouding skies all the way across the nation.
Oregon ranks air quality as good, moderate, unhealthy for sensitive groups, unhealthy, very unhealthy or hazardous. Smoke levels are fluctuating between unhealthy and hazardous for Oregon and southwest Washington. When smoke levels are hazardous everyone needs to take steps to protect themselves. Goldfarb urged people to stop working outdoors when air quality is unhealthy or worse.
Vision can also be a problem. Alaska Airlines and sister flyer Horizon Air temporary suspended all flights to and from airports in Portland, Oregon, and Spokane, Washington until at least 3 p.m. local time Tuesday. The estimated damage total and cumulative economic loss is expected to be between $130 billion and $150 billion, according to AccuWeather CEO Joel Myers. That's about the same as a Category 4 or 5 hurricane, he said.
