The smoke from ferocious Canadian wildfires cast a sickly pall over much of the eastern United States today, worsening air quality for millions of people.

About 98 million people in parts of 18 states from New Hampshire to South Carolina were under air quality alerts this morning for both wildfire smoke and ozone.

4. Creepy outside

I’m a little north of Philly. Sky is a strange shade of white/gray and the sun is trying to shine, and I can smell it. Hasn’t rained in weeks either.

5. Yes, you can smell it, the lack of rain is not helping.

There is nothing to help clamp it down in the air.

9. Like a horror movie.

We are not able to escape climate change.

Terrifying to me too is the forecast keeps saying a chance of rain but it never comes.
