Canadian Smoke

[Snagglefoot]

I have no idea how accurate www.firesmoke.ca is but let’s check. It’s predicting some of worst smoke will leave the Toronto and Cleveland area and drift out to sea on the prevailing winds, passing through Philliy Friday afternoon. Let us know if that comes to be. Good luck.

After this is over, may be a good idea to change AF and CAF.

The air is about normal here today... Now we need the rain.

Where I live in eastern WV, we've had less than .48" in the month of May. Grass is burnt brown. Will take a lot of soaking rain to get back to normal.

Is this how Philly looked at 6:00PM today.

Some how living coastal NH we missed out on it. It’s south and also west of us but winds not putting it here. A little last week but not the soup I saw in US eastern cities.

Its a sure thing the zombies on Kensington street , Philly never even noticed.

Judging from the local weather, I'd say www.firesmoke.ca was pretty accurate.

No doubt they complained how bad it was for their health before and after they shot up

If I recall correctly, this was a big hit in late 1977. Tempus fugit ...

I was evacuated in 2003 from a rural community when you couldn't see across the street.
The ones that stayed behind looted vacant homes.

Nice neighbors...

It's much better today....Wednesday was the worst...it actually stung my throat.

PS: My friend who follows this stuff blames poor forest management just like in California. I hope some people (in both California and Canada) are held accountable.

Clear here. Got .06" of rain. Need a lot more though.

We got that thunder buster last night and only like 15 minutes of rain. But that smoke must be imbedded in the roof, trees and everything else as it gassed out the house for a few hours.
I thought rain may do that and it did. Much better today.

In the national and state parks that haven't burned, you see piles of dead dry wood piled up in small piles. I asked a ranger about it and he said they burn them in the winter snow season. These forests have not been burned in a long time. Good forest mgmt.

Central Florida. I went outside this morning and the haze is thick here and and it reeks of wood smoke. We had seen some smoke from the Canadian fires but I couldn't believe that it was this bad even after the winds changed and started blowing that smoke out into the Atlantic.

I checked online and found out that there is 5,000+ acres "proscribed burn" somewhere the Lake/Seminole county area. They must be burning off another huge wooded area in order to ready it for more subdivisions

I have 4 air purifiers in the house. It helped immensely as we had no trace of smoke in the home.

BIL lives in Milton, Ontario and he says it's difficult being outside for more than a 10 min. Never seen anything like it.

They raised the carbon tax. That will put the fires out.

In Oxford PA now.
The smell is so bad it gives you instant asthma. No haze but really burnt smelling air.
Not good. The party continues
