To keep the sub from being overrun with posts about the wildfires its results, please put all your pictures, information, questions, and discussions about it here.

The National Weather Service has extended the Air Quality Alert until tomorrow, Saturday. Air quality today is likely to remain at the levels of Very Unhealthy through Hazardous.

• Try to avoid being outside and if you must try to wear a mask or respirator. It is recommended to not use masks for children under 2.
• Indoors, if your HVAC system does not have MERV-13 or higher filters, additionally use an air cleaner if possible.
• Try to avoid things that will make your inside air quality worse, like burning candles, using gas stoves more than necessary, smoking (sorry, smokers), and using aerosol products.

AirNow.gov shows the latest air quality data

MDHHS has an information page Your Health & WIldfire Smoke which includes a link to instructions on making a homemade air cleaner using a box fan and a filter.

Stay safe, fellow Michiganders.

Folks, we're getting a bit overrun, but we want to keep seeing your content!

Please use this post for all your pictures, info, questions, and other content about the wildfires and its effect on us.

Thanks!

We are modifying the rules to make sure that removal reasons and rules are in sync and that we are reflecting the current state of the subreddit.

We have also made additions due to evidence of brigading and attempts at influencing our participants. We are taking steps to keep political discussions as neutral as possible so that all candidates get fair coverage.

The following rules have changed:

Rule 1: Racism, Hate, Slurs, and Threats - Modified to include slurs.

Rule 3: Brigading, Vote-Manipulation, Astroturfing, and Restrictions to Political Content - Modified to add: This rule applies to political content, both posts and comments. No content advocating who to vote for. No candidate endorsements. Political content from people with little participation here will be removed at moderator discretion.

Rule 4: No self-promotions or social media - Added are opinion posts, which include blogs and opinion columns on news sites.

Rule 7: Editorialized Headlines, Screenshots - Clarified with the addition of News from articles only. No screenshots or links to sites that break Rule #4.

Reminder: We cannot make rules for every possibility. We moderate not just by the written rules but the spirit in which they are intended. Moderators have the final say on how the rules are interpreted.

As always, you can find the rules on the sidebar or About page/tab of the /r/Michigan front page, or on the Wiki, where you'll also find other information you might find useful.

Thanks for being a part of the subreddit for the best state in the USA!
