Whoa so Smokey here today in all of MD

The haze is unreal here near the MD beach...spoke with family in Baltimore and points north and definitely heavy haze there.  And we can smell it.  I cannot wrap my head around what it must be like where the fires actually are burning.  Thinking of those firefighters.

I heard about this fire last night on the news.  The smoke will extend to the Carolina's.

 

Prayers to all.

It is also very hazy here in Northern Delaware.  I just got through a course of steroids due to pulmonary inflammation from when the fires started in Nova Scotia Memorial Day weekend.  I feel better now but I hope I don't need another course of steroids any time soon.

It is bad here in NE PA too. It was a white haze earlier, now it is a weird yellow. You can really smell the smoke today, a lot more than before.

@ninjawife

well try and hang inside or wear a mask when outside.  The doc at work used to wear a mask all allergy season when she had to go outside between buildings to keep from inhaling pollen.

It's bad here in western NY also. Imagine what it's like right in Nova Scotia. Praying foe everyone.

The Weather Channel had a map of Canada this morning and it looked like about 3/4 of the country had wildfires.  Has been hazy here in Chicago for quite awhile.  Unhealthy conditions for "sensitive" individuals.  Hope the Canadians get those fires under control soon.

We are seeing it in RI also, all of New England under an air quality warning.  Except for Maine as of this morning.   We stayed in today but have to go out tomorrow and it's supposed to be just as bad.  Take care everyone!

We are seeing it in upstate NY.  There was a yellow cast in the air most of the day.  We were told to stay indoors as the air quality index is 172.  I was out doing my mulch and when I saw the news I packed it in.

Same here in central Ohio, for past 3 days!  Sky is white, not blue
