The wild fire smoke has been bad last few days here . First it was blowing in from Quebec , then the wind changed and now blowing in from north western Ontario . The skys change from grey to yellow to orange and back again . Very eary at times . As bad as been here at times , I can only imagine how it is for those people that are directly affected by the fires .

Dave here on the east coast probably 400 miles from you the skies have been gray and at times the sky has an orange tint and you can smell the fires. We are fortunate that the more unhealthy air is going south west of here. I'm sure you have it much worse than we do.

Woke up at 1:44 to the smell of smoke...

Wide awake.

Toured the whole house, checked the outdoors, and eventually remembered the wildfire smoke was coming... Turned the exhaust fan to low, back to bed.

It's nothing more than an annoyance for me, but I feel for those with respratory issues... Even worse for those in the path, or adjacent...

Yesterday visibility was less than 2 miles all day. We are at least 400 miles to the nearest fire. The sun is breaking through today.

The skies actually cleared up here this morning. The sky is now more blue than gray. Sunglasses are now required :thumbsup:

I agree about how bad it must be by people effected
By the fire. Losing their home and not to forget the animals. It was orange here yesterday but looks clear today. Rain coming in tomorrow.
