We're number one (almost)

Grand Rapids has the worst air quality in the country today, and some of the worst air quality in the world. If it was a major city, it would be #2 in the entire world behind Dakar, Senegal (an eye-watering AQI of 190, due to dust from the Sahara desert).

Here? AQI of 161 and rising, apparently. We were going to go for a long walk and decided to move swimming up a day instead. Being underwater is the most pleasant place to be right now.

It doesn't seem there's a single place in the U.S. you can live anymore that's free of the threat of weather disaster.
