Title: Canada Wildfires-How Bad?
Post by: jb1842 on June 08, 2023, 01:41:15 PM
Pretty bad by me in northern Ohio. Been hazy all week. And this is the 2nd day you can really smell the smoke in the air. Almost zero general aviation activity. How bad for you all?

Yesterday was a decent day for us. Tuesday and today are the worst so far; no winds.

No problem down here in Florida.
But my SIL in NY said she is pretty much trapped in her apartment.  She wouldn't wear a mask for Covid, but she does now when she goes outside.

This is a real health threat.

My daughter said southeastern VA was a little hazy yesterday but nothing like pics she’s seen from NY.

Anything to this or fearmongering conspiracy theory?  Seems like could be a very plausible way for some psycho or terrorist to make trouble.

and the beauty of it is how wacky it sounds, so no one will believe it.  A perfect cover for nefarious activities...

I’m in Fort Worth, and one of my colleagues who was flying back to Connecticut said the airline called and said his flight might be canceled due to the low viz from the smoke. I call BS on that, unless lucifer or other big iron guys confirm that the airlines would actually cancel a flight due to smoke.

It was probably a no-smoking flight.
