Randomly scrolled through my #TV to find #midwest Baseball, Kane County Cougars vs #Milwaukee Milmen. More #sports leagues should put their games on free tv services to be discovered.

It's been a minute since I was able to share #MorningWalk photos in my usual spot on my semi-usual Sunday morning. Here's this morning's #Barnscape photo. In the next toot, I'll share a series of photos to capture the upcoming harvest in the fields right around our house. #CentralIllinois #Midwest #Illinois

These probably look a bit drab, but I'm guessing our neighbors' corn will be pulled in this week (could be wrong, they might wait one more week, we'll see). I'm hoping to take daily photos to capture how quickly the landscape changes. Corn is probably just 8.5 ft tall! Winchester cameo for scale, and to counter the drab. (Winchester is never drab, just dapper.) #CentralIllinois #Illinois #Midwest #HarvestTime

Round 2 of (maybe) harvest week photos for the field corn surrounding our house. One neighbor has been pulling some corn in nearby, or doing other related work, but I'm not sure it's visible yet based on the photos. Maybe in the normal barnscape, a bit, but it's mostly out of frame. Machines are going most of the day and into the night. Dog has lots to bark at. #Midwest #Central Illinois #Illinois

Wildfire Smoke Gives Way to Powerful Thunderstorms in the Midwest and Northeast https://www.nytimes.com/2026/07/20/weather/wisconsin-midwest-storms-tornado-forecast.html #Weather #Storms #Midwest

Canadian #wildfire smoke turns air hazardous in the US #Midwest. Officials say stay inside By TAMMY WEBBER and PHILIP MARCELO, July 16, 2026 NEW YORK (AP) — "Heavy, pungent smoke from #CanadianWildfires darkened skies in the U.S. on Thursday from the #GreatLakes to parts of the #EastCoast, reducing visibility for commuters and prompting warnings that air quality could make being outside dangerous. "#Detroit’s air quality was among the worst in the world for major cities, as a lingering high pressure system trapped smoke from dozens of fires in Canada and northern Minnesota, said Steven Freitag, a National Weather Service meteorologist in Pontiac, Michigan. " 'Sure enough, it arrived in force here and it’s really pretty extreme levels,' said Freitag, who noted that visibility in some areas was reduced to a half mile. "Omar Mitchell wore a mask as he walked to his restaurant in Detroit. He said he urged his employees to do the same. " 'It’s scary,' Mitchell, 50, said as he looked at the sky. 'You don’t know necessarily what the side effects may be. That’s days or months later.' "Cities across the Great Lakes states registered air quality ranging from unhealthy to hazardous — which means it’s unhealthy for anyone, regardless of health conditions. Microscopic particles can lodge deep in the lungs and enter the bloodstream, leading to heart and lung problems and contributing to other long-term health issues. "All of #Michigan and much of #Minnesota were under a hazardous #AirQualityAlert. In the Chicago area, air quality ranged from very unhealthy to hazardous. "National Weather Service meteorologist Jake Petr said even if winds from the northwest clear skies as expected later this week, the smoky air could keep returning until the fires are out. That could take weeks or longer. " 'Anytime we have something that could bring air from that region until the fires are over, it could conceivably dip back into the area,' Petr said. "In #SaintPaulMN, the air was 'glowing yellow,' said Brent Williams, head of the soil, water and climate department at the University of Minnesota, who said the area 'could be looking at weeks to months of continued smoke and flare-ups off and on as the winds blow in different directions.' "A study published this year found that long-term exposure to tiny particles from wildfire smoke contributed to an average of 24,100 deaths a year in the lower 48 states. Long-term exposure can make existing health problems worse and lead to a range of chronic and deadly health issues, including respiratory illness, cardiovascular and neurological diseases, and premature death." https://apnews.com/article/canada-wildfires-smoke-us-ae4b2bd09a97919a081e26ede6a6d355 #CRBox #AirQuality #WildfireSmoke #AQI #HEPAFilters #CorsiRosenthalBox #AirCleaners #Masks #ParticulateMatter #RespiratorMasks #StayIndoors #ThanksBigOil

The strip of dense #wildfire #smoke can be seen on satellites stretching from the Upper #Midwest & #Canada, across the #GreatLakes, through southern #Ontario & New England & down to NYC.… …As of Thursday morning, #AirQuality readings surged to very dangerous levels in many places, including #Chicago, #Cleveland, #Detroit, #Minneapolis & #Toronto [& all the smaller towns & spaces between]. #wildfires #PublicHealth #pollution #air #ExtremeWeather #ClimateChange #ClimateCrisis

The #smoke is spreading so widely because the same #HeatDome that has led to brutally high temperatures in the #Midwest & the #Northeast has trapped the smoke close to the ground. By the weekend, as another weather system pushes the hottest #air away, the #heat & the smoke are expected to ease in the Northeast, forecasters said. But closer to the #wildfires, the smoke is likely to linger longer. #PublicHealth #pollution #ExtremeWeather #ClimateChange #ClimateCrisis

The green roof above the Chinatown branch of the Chicago Public Library. I have been really fascinated by green roofs lately. Chicago is a leader in the practice. There is one on top of City Hall with over 20,000 plants and hives. And the rooftop farm on McCormick Place provides the produce for the onsite restaurant. #solarpunk #SolarpunkSunday #Green #Environment #Chicago #Midwest #Architecture #Gardening #Nature #City #Urban #libraries #library

Sicilianews24.it: I parchi nazionali americani affrontano un futuro incerto a causa dei rischi climatici crescenti. Rischi del Cambiamento Climatico nei Parchi Nazionali Statunitensi Un’analisi nazionale ha rivelato che la maggior parte dei parchi nazionali degli Stati Uniti è altamente vulnerabile ai cambiamenti climatici, esponendo molti di essi a rischi di trasformazione ecologica irreversibile, piuttosto che a un graduale declino. Incendi boschivi, siccità, parassiti e innalzamento del livello del mare stanno convergendo per rimodellare i paesaggi che i parchi sono stati creati per preservare. La vulnerabilità non è uniforme: i parchi nel Midwest e nella parte orientale degli Stati Uniti tendono a fronteggiare i rischi cumulativi più elevati, a causa di habitat frammentati, inquinamento, specie invasive e capacità limitata degli ecosistemi di adattarsi. Molti parchi occidentali sembrano più resilienti, ma sono esposti a molteplici disturbi gravi contemporaneamente. L'articolo I parchi nazionali americani affrontano un futuro incerto a causa dei rischi climatici crescenti. sembra essere il primo su Sicilianews24.it. American national parks face an uncertain future due to rising climate risks. Climate Change Risks in U.S. National Parks A national analysis revealed that the majority of U.S. national parks are highly vulnerable to climate change, exposing many of them to risks of irreversible ecological transformation, rather than gradual decline. Wildfires, droughts, pests, and sea-level rise are converging to reshape the landscapes that parks were created to preserve. Vulnerability is not uniform: parks in the Midwest and the eastern United States tend to face the highest cumulative risks, due to fragmented habitats, pollution, invasive species, and limited ecosystem adaptation capacity. Many western parks appear more resilient, but are exposed to multiple severe disturbances simultaneously. The article “U.S. National Parks Face an Uncertain Future Due to Rising Climate Risks” appears to be the first on Sicilianews24.it. #American #Parks #Midwest #UnitedStates #first
