Skywatch Friday

Tuesday afternoon we got an unwelcome”traveler”. Who could have imagined that smoke from Canadian wildfires could be so voluminous that it would reach Long Island, New York? But yes, when the wind picked up, I could actually smell smoke in the air. Things got worse …much worse … on Wednesday. NYC had the worst air quality in the world! Things were so bad that the Yankees had to postpone Wednesday night’s game. Local government officials told us to stay indoors, and to mask up if we had to go out. I stayed inside. So no photos of the burnt orange sky. But this is what the sun looked like around 5 PM Tuesday, several hours before sunset. Scary times … #skywatchfriday
