Canadian "Wildfire" Smoke
« on: June 07, 2023, 02:08:40 PM »
Does anyone else here not believe that all this smoke is being generated by a few relatively-small wildfires in Canada?  Practically 1/4 of the US is allegedly covered by varying degrees of smoke.  I've lived here in NE Ohio for most of my 55 years on earth, and have never seen anything like this in my lifetime.  I would think that this would have happened before.  Something seems unnatural about this.

Canada has its population chunks near the border, like your Torontos and Vancouvers. And then mostly forested nothing and some indigenous reservations north of that. Especially Quebec. Large parts of it burning and flowing down to the Northeast make sense, honestly.

When there were major wildfires in California a couple-few years ago, I remember that we were effected a bit by it coming all the way out East thought the jet stream.

We were getting red suns in Virginia back around May 23-26th of this year.  I remember thinking "What is going on here?" And then looked it up to see it was because of wildfires.  My mother also saw the red sun effect when driving back to the hospital after my father was recovering from septic shock.  The skies got blue again a few days later.  I noticed the more hazy look again yesterday and this morning.  

One of my sisters is up in NY and also a friend.  They both said it has been pretty bad and harder to breathe up there. 

A friend in a more Northern part of VA closer to D.C. said that it wasn't bad there this morning but is definitely getting worse and more hard to breathe.
