The Big Orange? NY Looks Eerily Different after Fires in Canada
New York in a Hazardous Orange Haze from Fires in Canada
While many of us in Upstate New York dealt with smog and smoke on Tuesday from the Canadian wildfires, take a look at what residents of New York City dealt with throughout the day today.
According to reports, air quality downstate was the worst since at least the 1980s Wednesday afternoon as a thick wave of orange smoke and ash left many from New York "hazed and confused."
