Take this pretty seriously. Air quality numbers are climbing in our area. It's in the 160's, which is not good, but can rise and also stay for days. https://www.airnow.gov/state/?name=new-jersey    

kevin is right also please bring your pets in dont leave them out in this its not good for them period.

Air quality index is now 209 here in the Lehigh Valley of PA.

Check it out now Greg...I think it's up to 422 !!! I feel like I'm back working in the Coke Plant at Beth Steel...LOL

Yep! Is 436 as of 4:30pm in Hellertown. Some areas in Greater Lehigh Valley now over 500. Can only imagine the conditions you endured at the Coke Works.

Central Pa. too.  Plus we are so dry we have a don't burn warning.  

Bad down here in lake Norman. I figure after all the fumes and flemington dust over the years a little smoke ain't going to get me ....

From outside 3WHQ:

That little white dot at the top of the picture is the sun.  Very eerie.

I went outside to bring in the recycling container and now I smell like I've been sitting by a campfire.

Feels like an episode of the old "The Outer Limits" TV show from the 60's.

It's creeping into Havre de Grace, Maryland. 

I was waiting for Rod Serling to come out of the smoke.

so Bad here in Bangor Smokey the Bear went a running out of woods destination unkknown 

As of 7pm Wednesday the Lehigh Valley (PA) had the worst air quality in the entire United States with an index rating of 458.

And I thought Marcel "The Hammer" LaFrance was the worst thing to come out of Canada!    Wait, that should be under the dirtiest driver ever post.

They made us move indoors (against our will) to play tennis last night. When I went to play, my wife wanted to know if I paid the life insurance premium.

It's supposed to ease up by the weekend. If it is this bad on Saturday, I wonder how many tracks would consider canceling the races. Considering the National Baseball League canceled a few games last night.
