The evacuation order area for the Eaton fire in Pasadena is massive. Anyone in the red area on the www.watchduty.org map should leave, which is almost all of the foothills. Anyone north of the 210 from Tujunga to Duarte is probably in an evacuation warning zone. The growth overnight has been huge.

The Pasadena air quality issues are from crazy high PM10 and PM2.5 particulates. The aq.caltech.edu air quality monitor is 10 stories up which may contribute. I’m sorry about the axis label spacing, but we didn’t test values this high when building the portal

The air quality in Pasadena is incredibly bad due to the Eaton fire. It’s maxed out the scale bar at aq.caltech.edu. A N95 mask would be a good idea if you need to go outside.

I can fit a full grocery run from Aldi on my @ternbicycles.bsky.social cargo bike. No car needed!

If you’re in Southern California, you really should check out the @caltech.edu archives Crossing Over exhibit before it closes in December. It’s an amazing collection of historic objects and art in really cool spaces on campus. library.caltech.edu/crossing-ove...
