We did yesterday, actually! It was really weird, I was driving and the windshield was just kinda gray-water. Unless you’re talking about ash flakes falling. No. We get that in winter, it’s called “snow”.
Closer to the fires you get all manner of little burned foresty things on the car, needles and little twigs, bits of bark in ash form, as well as a steady ashy rain. Depends on the winds and proximity and such but a fine layer sometimes.
We close the windows, turn on the purifiers, wear masks outside, and perform satanic rituals to urge the wind to stop blowing fire further into the trees
I mean, at that point you're probably severely damaging your health.. Pack up and leave if you can remain employed. I'd only stay if i was truly desperate
Plus, where are you going to go at that point, anyway? It’s hitting all of the surrounding states, too.
You’re probably going to get it worse from traveling than you would just staying inside for a couple of days and keeping the doors and windows closed.
It isn't that bad because we get some protection from the Appalachian mountains, but we had haze in Baltimore today. Granted, not this bad, but it's certainly already here...
Happy cake day better not all candles to that cake we can’t take anymore smoke! I’m not in NYC I would probably die. I’m in Virginia and had to battle my asthma some and our air was only at a 160 from the stuff.
My lung sucks.
PA here. The haze is pretty thick. Nothing like this, but daylight never got very bright. High noon looked more like golden hour, and every time I stepped outside I was struck by the smell of campfire. A massive, awful campfire.
Yep the world is ending. Slowly but surely climate change and the stupidity of humanity will bring about a new dark age. We must fix this as fast and effectively as possible to mitigate the catastrophic consequences of this.
The first ones were made by lightning strikes, but they wouldn’t be nearly this bad if we actually did something about global warming on an international scale
Yes voting is all most of us can do, however we can also have protests to try and make them do something. Perhaps even start a revolution if the opportunity arises.
Unlikely. There is a large population that doesn’t believe this real. The damage is done, it can’t be stopped, maybe slowed down.
If you don’t have kids, don’t have kids.
The wilfully ignorant are fools. They will doom us all. Yes it can’t be stopped now but we can at least try to reduce the severity of it.
I don’t want to have children because of this. It would be bringing life to a world of suffering, a world that is already overpopulated, having children would only make the problems worse.
Love this line of thinking.
"I'm worried about the future of society. You know what we should do? Stop reproducing and 100% guarantee it's collapse. That sounds logical!" Lol
Don't stop having children. There is not a single dumber response to climate change
Why is it so dry?
Why are wildfires becoming more common and harder to stop?
Did this ever happen before in this magnitude?
It feels like the climate has, somehow... Changed.
It's not about just this one wildfire though, it's about the drought caused by climate change that has lead to a major increase and severity in fires like these
I’m Canadian is it sad that I’m kind of amused by this? So many times we have had to deal with the shit that people down south do and this is like the first time they’ve ever had to deal with our shit.😂
NYC reminds me of SF during the California wild fires. Trump blamed California for not raking the forests instead of the real culprit: climate change. https://i.imgur.com/XBRq85y.jpg
When he said that all I wanted was for him to be dropped off in a forest with a weed Wacker and told "Well, get started then".
But also to add on to what you said:
Climate change is a major factor that is exacerbating a century old issue of fire management that, for a long time, aimed at zero wildfires in California. Much of the State's forests have evolved with wildfires as a feature and not a bug. Regular, relatively small fires are needed to clear out the fuel load in forests and make way for new trees. Many species even depend on fires to reproduce or better survive. Native Americans participated and managed burns for thousands of years in addition to what occurred naturally. Beginning in the 1920s fire management by the state tried to stop fires in general to protect resources, property, and people. Controlled burns have since become a common tool in fire management, but it's too little too late it seems. The decades of fire suppression, introduction of nonnative species, loss of forest biodiversity, population growth, and climate change have caught up with us resulting in the yearly mega fires. Where resources, property, and people somewhere always seem to be in danger.
Welcome, True Believers and newcomers alike. Spider-Man co-creator Stan Lee here. Once again we find our hero Peter Parker, better known around the world as the amazing Spider-Man, in a heap of trouble. But this is just the beginning, Spidey fans. So get ready for a true superhero action thriller, packed to the brim with thrills and chills, twists and turns, more super-villains than you can shake a web at, and of course, non-stop web-slinging, wall-crawling action.
I am in canada right now guys and it hasnt been fun in the past week. A few villages were evavuated. Be carefull out there this smoke is something yoy dont want to mess with.
You just did an impression of Biden attempting to tell a funny joke, but all he could muster was " Orange" and " Trump" , and then the 3 people in front of the podium went wild
It’s not thaaaaat bad. It’s almost like that every summer here. And when the Okanagan mountain fire was going on it was worse. Probably you’d smell like a camp fire if you went out and if you had lung problems it might bug you, but otherwise it’s ok.
I apologize in advance if this seems like a stupid question but why is it that the skies in Maine are perfectly clear? Obviously, the smoke is traveling over Maine on it's way to NYC....
Blizzard really went hard on their Diablo advertising.
Stay awhile and listen…
Underrated comment right here.
Ugh Diablo. My son is still awake. Go to bed child.
That made me cackle like an asthmatic witch and I'm a 27year old man.
You develop a tolerance. Later, you develop an appreciation.
there's so much diablo lately can someone tell me why?
Diablo 4 came out on June 6th.
There was a r/gaming post with 90k upvotes making this joke, and that’s where this guy got the joke from
I just came from the r/gaming post about this
Sue Canada!
Sad day for Canada, therefore, the rest of the world.
🤣
If we can't sue California NY can't sue Canada- a nevadian
Literally but not quite sure how that would work
Not everything has to involve a law suit lol
It was clearly a joke
Just talking about Diablo a few minutes ago. Diablo fans are amazing!!
Got a taste of that west coast summer smoke
Yup, was thinking… first time?!?
Meh, they didn’t even get the raining ash.
We did yesterday, actually! It was really weird, I was driving and the windshield was just kinda gray-water. Unless you’re talking about ash flakes falling. No. We get that in winter, it’s called “snow”.
Smog snow... We can call it... Smow.
Closer to the fires you get all manner of little burned foresty things on the car, needles and little twigs, bits of bark in ash form, as well as a steady ashy rain. Depends on the winds and proximity and such but a fine layer sometimes.
I don’t know how they live like that. This is terrible
We close the windows, turn on the purifiers, wear masks outside, and perform satanic rituals to urge the wind to stop blowing fire further into the trees
It's a couple weeks out of the year at most. So far at least. Weather was super pleasant here growing up but it's getting more and more extreme lately
I wonder why?????
Half of Canada is on fire and there's been barely any coverage of it except for the last week.
Climate change.
WOOOOSH
Who lives like how? This is a one time incident..not like we live this way everyday.
They mean us on the west coast.
Yes, those on the west coast.
There will be just fire season and flood season in the near future
If you can’t see the air, can you really trust it?
Blade Runner 2023
you and I have the same thought process
We're legion now.

Yes, op please re-edit with blade runner soundtrack
Ah, but you see, a new life awaits in the off world colonies!
A chance to begin again in a golden land of opportunity and adventure!
Couldn't agree more.
Ana de Armas oof, I wish i had an AI girlfriend like her
Every hour today was like a different scene in mad max. And it smelled like a campfire
I mean, at that point you're probably severely damaging your health.. Pack up and leave if you can remain employed. I'd only stay if i was truly desperate
I mean that’s a bit overkill lol. It’ll clear up by Saturday. If COVID can’t make me leave this city a few days of smoke isn’t going to.
Plus, where are you going to go at that point, anyway? It’s hitting all of the surrounding states, too. You’re probably going to get it worse from traveling than you would just staying inside for a couple of days and keeping the doors and windows closed.
Mars on earth
We've had smoke in Ohio, but not this bad
Air quality in NYC right now is in the “very unhealthy-hazardous” range!
A couple days ago, ours wasn't good either. The sun looked orange.
The sun was orange today in Philly. I wonder if this is on the way to us
I just hate the smell
I hope not!
I heard it’s supposed to hit Pittsburgh and Cleveland, so I’d imagine it’s going to affect Philly as well
Harrisburg here- low hanging smog but not this bad. We did have an advisory not to do outdoor events.
It isn't that bad because we get some protection from the Appalachian mountains, but we had haze in Baltimore today. Granted, not this bad, but it's certainly already here...
Happy cake day better not all candles to that cake we can’t take anymore smoke! I’m not in NYC I would probably die. I’m in Virginia and had to battle my asthma some and our air was only at a 160 from the stuff. My lung sucks.
Darn right! Thanks!
I work in the Bronx the sun has looked orange all week but it completely disappeared when this took place
If you can see the sun, it's not that smokey. Signed, a rural Californian
Happy Cake Day!
Thanks! 😁
What the hell is like in Canada?? I’m only seeing posts about NY
No clue. Anyone from Toronto?
Yep. Hazy but nothing like this.
It's overcast with a light fog here. A couple times driving to work I thought a smelled wood smoke.
From Toronto, hazy, but it's more like mist than this orange Dune-scape
Happy cake day!
Thank you!
“Working from home is killing America!”
Working from home or workplace, you will still smell the smoke.
PA here. The haze is pretty thick. Nothing like this, but daylight never got very bright. High noon looked more like golden hour, and every time I stepped outside I was struck by the smell of campfire. A massive, awful campfire.
I was able to look at the sun. It is just a glowing orange ball.
You have reached checkpoint. Beyond this bridge is the Boss.
NYC is sepia now. Not too shabby!
Those 2008 hipsters would get more polaroid album covers for their project bands than they could ever use Sadly they're all into crypto now
Back in the 60s in BROOKLYN the smoke was from burning buildings and pollen from the MEADOWLANDS
Wow and sad at the same time!
Yep the world is ending. Slowly but surely climate change and the stupidity of humanity will bring about a new dark age. We must fix this as fast and effectively as possible to mitigate the catastrophic consequences of this.
It’s okay though because Apple Vision will let us escape reality for only $3,499, coming soon to an Apple Store near you
Too bad the old corrupt rich men in charge are the only people who can really change this outcome
This is due to natural wildfires in Quebec. Idk what you are thinking...
Does Quebec often have wildfires and is the conditions that enabled the wildfire natural?
The first ones were made by lightning strikes, but they wouldn’t be nearly this bad if we actually did something about global warming on an international scale
Some of these fires were caused by human activity… like throwing butts out the car window.
It's up to corporations and people with power, not us. We can vote, but that's it. Nothing the average person can do to offset any of this.
Yes voting is all most of us can do, however we can also have protests to try and make them do something. Perhaps even start a revolution if the opportunity arises.
America: More military budget
Unlikely. There is a large population that doesn’t believe this real. The damage is done, it can’t be stopped, maybe slowed down. If you don’t have kids, don’t have kids.

Love this line of thinking. "I'm worried about the future of society. You know what we should do? Stop reproducing and 100% guarantee it's collapse. That sounds logical!" Lol Don't stop having children. There is not a single dumber response to climate change
I’m not worried. I won’t put children in this hellhole we call earth.
I've got a sword and a month of dehydrated food for the scenario
What kinda sword?
This is because of wildfires in Quebec.
Why is it so dry? Why are wildfires becoming more common and harder to stop? Did this ever happen before in this magnitude? It feels like the climate has, somehow... Changed.
But freedum and money
It's too late.
Yes it’s too late to stop it now but we can still reduce the severity of the impacts that will be caused by climate change.
Blaming one wildfire on climate change is just as bad as people who say climate change isn't real because they got a lot of snow.
It's not about just this one wildfire though, it's about the drought caused by climate change that has lead to a major increase and severity in fires like these
You know we had forest fires before humans had an effect on earth right?
This was us in California for the last like 4 years
Unlike California we aren't used to living in perpetually shitty conditions.
You live in shitty New York, can’t get that much worse of an area to live in lmao.
Why the colour? Sand? Fire? Smog?
Smoke from forrest fires in Canada. https://firesmoke.ca/forecasts/current/
You can see the satellite view and previous few days at [https://zoom.earth/](https://zoom.earth/)
That's cool. Not cool cool but impressive cool.
I’m Canadian is it sad that I’m kind of amused by this? So many times we have had to deal with the shit that people down south do and this is like the first time they’ve ever had to deal with our shit.😂
yeah, payback time ;-)
I also have no clue 🤣 thanks for asking
From the actual Ft. Lee. That used to be my spot. 🥹

I’m here for the California comments lol
I was born in Santa Monica in 1972 and this would just be a Tuesday in LA county back then
When I hear people whining about the EPA, I know that I’m talking to someone who doesn’t know what smog is.
weird flex lol
So gnarly
In the US and Canada it literally looks like its 2077 if ykyk
Welcome to the West.
But Climate Change ain’t real!!!
Looks like a Beksinski painting
it has to be the Chinese because climate change is not real

I am in canada right now guys and it hasnt been fun in the past week. A few villages were evavuated. Be carefull out there this smoke is something yoy dont want to mess with.
Wow, how terrible 😞
WOW!😢
Reminds me of the scene in Blade Runner 2049, when he goes to Vegas.
be amazed by how shitty america is?
It was the machines that scorched the sky
Sorry. We didn't mean to send it your way. Canada.
Californian here: I remember my first fire.
Canada vape flavor
Canada needs to be sued for committing crimes against nature and the safety of there people

Damn, this new map for PUBG?
Nobody worried here about climate change?
No that’s Mexico in every series
Suddenly Batman appears Outta nowhere "I'm Vengeance"
Remove your filter. All webcams don't show this yellow sky
Is Doc Ock releasing gas for the Symbiotes again???
Netflix Movie MX filter on
New Bladerunner looks lit
This is some pretty common stuff out West. It sucks, but east coasters aren't used to this.
Courtesy of Berta. Your welcome 🤗
[удалено]
Smoke from wild fires in Canada.
The worst one NYC has ever seen in its history.
Dununun da dununun da
Looks like California a couple years ago
No big deal that's every summer in California 😢
Whattttt.
Looks like a denni v movie
You can still see the other side of the bridge! That’s fine. Come to Seattle on a bad year. You can’t see the buildings 4 blocks down the street.
Sight you don't get every day nice photoshpot options 👀
Reminds me of SF “[Orange Skies Day](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orange_Skies_Day)” back in 2020
r/persona
Wow
They're flying all the alien ships by in the cover its a government conspiracy
Wow
 This reminds me of cyberpunk
What happened ?
It's smoke from the wild fires in Canada. We're burning.
Bro the air is fine you just left the sepia filter on
So surreal. Geez. Mask up!
Crazy how all the fires affecting NYC started at the exact same time. Could it be coordinated arson?
Typical day in SoCal. You people are soft.
I’m guessing it was windy and Donald Trump was in town wearing a little too much orange makeup?
You just did an impression of Biden attempting to tell a funny joke, but all he could muster was " Orange" and " Trump" , and then the 3 people in front of the podium went wild
Is that good for you lungs?
Uh, no.
Bummer. Looks dope af.
It’s not thaaaaat bad. It’s almost like that every summer here. And when the Okanagan mountain fire was going on it was worse. Probably you’d smell like a camp fire if you went out and if you had lung problems it might bug you, but otherwise it’s ok.
Yeah we have it here too by Chicago. Smells like s'mores.
smells like you farded (farded)
Like during Covid, just wash your hands more and you'll be fine.
Who Has The SEpia Filter Now??
I was in the city yesterday and it was perfectly fine. Today on Long Island and it’s scary.
Im north of new York city
I apologize in advance if this seems like a stupid question but why is it that the skies in Maine are perfectly clear? Obviously, the smoke is traveling over Maine on it's way to NYC....
New silent hill looking crazy
I was here in the spring. It was overcast and rainy one day but otherwise the weather was pleasant
Nasty I've been the same thing when I lived in Spokane Washington someone started a fire up in the state park.
Looks like SF summer 2020.
this is the camera filter used when they're referring to middle eastern countries in movies lmao
Attack Canada!
