#Wildfire #AirQuality #Weather
New York City giving out free crack pipes in vending machines you’re idiots the last thing you have to worry about is air quality
Man that asteroid could hurry up and hit us any day now…
Canada like other countries has imported this. It’s known as jihad by fire.
aaaw… next thing you know, green agendars gonna purpose to cut all trees so thers no forest fires… that sounds like them
in a month, they gonna say, you see what fuel cars do to our air, like this didnt happen few days ago 🤣
There will be great earthquakes, and in one place after another food shortages and pestilences; and there will be fearful sights and from heaven great signs. (Luke Ch21 Sen11)
This isn’t going last a few days but it’ll be weeks for it too clear out. Until the fires are done, it’ll get worse. We’re living in the last of the last days critical times difficult to deal with. World events are escalating faster each day. Violence and crime is demonic and advancing from bad to worse daily.
The country is at a global economic crisis but keep raising the debt limit. It cannot go on forever. This system is coming to its conclusion-end. 🎒 Get ready!
For crying out loud – These things have been going on – on this planet since the beginning of time – try knitting
You people have been saying “Get ready” for so long. But what is it, and when huh? It’s really annoying.
On your knees, sucker….
Shut up.
You guys have been saying “get ready, it’s all ending soon!” about 2000 years now!
Nice mustache 👍
The smoke does not smell like wood, it smells like some kind of plastic smell.
Anyone else not able to tell the difference between Unhealthy and Hazardous? Seems like they should have used more distinguishable colors.
” Blame Canada, blame Canada”
Sorry
-Canada
@Cris TProve it by getting rid of your Hitler, Trudeau. – the human race
Millions of people at risk due to poor are Quality. this is true basically all the time. Welcome to just another Wednesday I hope you happen with global warming are these side effects wonderful or what. Say safe people.
wear mask …
get you hands on a paint resperator. there a million times beter then a covid mask for just about everything.
I live in Buffalo NY, that smell is unbearable I’m over here sneezing with a stuffy nose and i don’t even have allergies
😂😂😂try living in California for fire season you would die 😭🤣🤣🤣I’ve seen it to where you can’t even see 30 feet in front of you
@MICHAEL that’s freaky
@AntinealAnita definitely not fun experience especially when there are fires all around your town.. just a couple years back the carr fire almost burnt down my town of Redding look it up it’s very scary stuff seeing the fire glow at night just a few miles away
@AntinealAnita it was the scariest thing I have ever lived through. Staying up almost every night watching the news and fire maps ready to evacuate
long island here… smells like every neighbor in a 10mile radius got their fire place going… started seeping thru windows had to tape em xd
Millions of people getting a taste of what the average person in California experiences daily .
That is why we don’t live in California! Get out of there.
BS, you lying mo-rain. Get a clue, then a grip on reality.
@cathy andresiak one of the million reasons
Jesus Christ is coming soon
Oh so this is why my allergies have been insane the past two days.
air quality is the same as the quality of life in NY, tell all your boarder jumpers to breath deep!
we dont get these fires in the hottest driest poor countries but we getting them in cali and canada affecting NY the most … so fires only like Socialist liberal states ???
Right that’s why the wildfires are mainly in Alberta and Quebec…the most conservative provinces in Canada.
Because, you know, socialism!
Or maybe, just maybe, natural disasters, much like diseases, don’t choose who they effect because they aren’t conscious and thinking and thus politics has nothing to do with it?
A truly revolutionary idea, I know!
This was planned. They told us weeks ago we would be catching the new covid. Sinister stuff going on
It’s awful. Out here in the S. F. Bay Area, we’ve had this really bad a few times with our wildfires. Wearing N95 masks and warned to stay inside. Hopefully the wind will shift, and the nasty smoke will blow out over the Atlantic.
People need to be taking antioxidants to help their bodies deal with the oxidative stress that the smoke is doing to their bodies.
Or over other people
@M Klein lol
Wow almost coincidentally the reddest areas are over places with highest concentration of people….. that’s not weird…..
War is coming
It makes very interesting sunrises & sunsets. I stay inside most days but it’s not a good thing if you’re outside, Put some masks on(again) 😮
Close your windows and put a box fan in your room. Put a furnace air filter on the front of it with some tape. It really helps. We do it all the time out here in the West.
This is for sending us acid rain in the 80’s.
Just wait till the whole sky is orange.! It’s almost Biblical.!
Its all the way to Norfolk VA
I am experiencing this for three days in PA. Scary.
I live here 💀
I’m in Pittsburgh when it coming😭
Cali wildfires are good for you though, right?
No one said that
Animals, bird nests, creatures stuck and die. Let’s talk about that .
If people in California dont like the air they deal with every summer than move ✌️✌️✌️
My eyes have been burning and nose running like crazy and keep sneezing. Must be lots of toxic smoke
Thes fires in Canada were started with Jewish space lasers. The wind currents are direct at liberal states by George Soros and alien weather control (DARPA). It’s all part of a global UN and WHO effort to get the face diapers back on and control your social credit. Anyone caught resisting will be docked social credit points. Trudeau is in on it and an acolyte of the WEF….. chemtrails, DNA, mRNA, social credit scores, world bank, and other conspiratorial sounding buzz words ….
This happens every year in California.
Same in Alberta/BC.
@canuckasaurus not in the month of May it doesn’t
I used to life in California, back in the 60’s.The air was pretty bad. Always a bad haze & we breathed it in. SoCal folks had to forgo outdoor P.E. during bad days. Trapped smog
In the valley until a breeze came along. Now in New England,the air was very good until the fires. I was born in Canada & am hoping they can get this problem fixed. I know some US firefighters are helping up there. When we had a wicked bad ice storm, the Onterio electric company workmen came down & helped repair our damage. They did a great job. They had few room & board here too. They were life savers. Our guys in New England went up to New Brunswick to help them put out a huge fire. We all work together. 🇨🇦🇺🇸😊
A fat center finger to those moose-riding Rubes.
I live in Odessa New York and been experiencing this for 3 days now and the sir quality is saying very unhealthy
Keep burning your fuel and throwing slave supplied lithium in the trash. You’ll end the world.
I’m in Cincinnati and it’s Smokey/ foggy down here I thought that was strange
This proves there is no border in this world
Did that fool say “we have masks handy”?
He sure did😭😭😭
Fools
No. You can still get pregnant wearing mask. Mask don’t work.
Well too bad the masks that you’re talking about or not going to stop smoke you need a different kind of mask
Pennsylvania here! It got worse today!
Need fans…really big fans!
That’s what masks are supposed to be used for. NOT A VIRUS. “Great idea!”, she says. Incredibly smart folks to be out running in this. What is wrong with people? Broadcast News is for morons.
Poison smoke coming from your brother country Canada we America people likes it
You call 172 bad.. come to Delhi once in Nov
Rake the forests – Donald Trump
Absolutely absurd levels of consequences from climate change that we’re facing to not mention it once
That weather lady is fuckn hot❤
Ty California and Canada for making my asthma ask up
It’s awful in pa
Blame Canada!!!
@spacerelated5190what else would i expect, eh?
I love the smell of Napalm in the morning, Apocalypse Now, Robert Duvall. Check it out, that scene looks eerily close to NYC atmosphere right now.
Sorry guys, our 2nd climate change tax doesnt come into effect until july 1st. Until then i think ull have to deal with our wildfire smoke
Wow it’s not California this time . Smh 🤦♀️
Is it any worse than the normal pollution from cars and factories?
I live in Waldorf i can barely see the clouds I really hope it gets better near the weekend
This is California’s world. 2years ago we woke up to a sky so orange it looked like Mars. Sending prayers and.good wishes to the east coast and Canada!
Your prayers are worthless. My prayers are more fire and more bad air. So far my prayers are working and yours are not. I’m powerful
Great. I’m in harrisburg..😩😩
I’m inside and can smell smoke even though my windows are closed. You can’t see far, and there is literally yellow soot on the street of NYC. This is freaking nuts.
same
Don’t put out the fire.dont use the national guard . don’t hold politicians accountable.
We used to blame Commifornia, now it’s Chinada’s fault .
Maybe it’s your fault pinhead
Its just a wild fire and some smoke
Dude you’re not helping
@ollysee quit crying about smoke we deal with it half the year in California
@Jake1993 and that’s supposed to be a normal thing because it happens frequently? Murders happen frequently and people still cry and protest about it.
A real reason to wear a mask
Typically _CLUELESS_ Amerikan news.
There are massive fires in Nova Scotia further east and Oilberta to the west.
How come this never happened before. The wind bought this here in Ny ? I don’t trust china
I didnt realise the air was bad in California but after reading the comments below im like yikes!!!
Probably not going to mix well with the concrete dust already in my lungs…
It’s crazy how in 7 hours the nyc air quality become 385
I hope you guys are safe unfortunately im dealing with it directly as i live in canada
Where is Brooklyn this playing next what I was like I don’t like it show me where where do like to the air quality has never
Great video… we have hazy sky but air quality index is in the 70s
Oh my….
stop complaining and “sending prayers to those affected” unless _you_ start doing _your_ part to help fight climate change. hypocrites 🙄
Will this effect my anxiety? Because i have a mental illness
😝 Canadian Rag Weed vulnerability and New York doesn’t understand 💨 💨 pass! Like 👮♀️ & 👨🚒 engaged in supply chain disruption or conversion therapy on behalf of pro-liferZ ⚡️ 🪑
NY messing with the rotation and being smoked out by Haitian Gang connected 🇦🇺 Outback #Wildfire #Flashpoint #Spark
New York City currently 224
Nature is so wild seeing smoke from a country away is a first for me
I live in Lake George NY. Some haze but no smell. Looks like light fog. So far no big deal.
This has been going on for weeks now in Minnesota from fires in Saskatchewan, it’s nasty. But, it hasn’t made the national newz…
it smells awful and there forcing me to school anyway
And Joe Biden disappeared! 80 million Americans are now blanketed in Canadian hazardous smoke and not a word from Biden. Nothing comforting Nothing reassuring, Nothing a real leader would do.
Send Democrats outside take a deep breath in and it will all be gone!!
Very suspicious fires. Why do I feel like the LEFT is involved.
California: First time?
The sky went dark in New England May of 1780. Forest fires in Canada are believed to have been the cause. There would have been similar conditions back then.
God both responded to the provocative actions of these two robber nations going to Taiwan😂
Resignation of Prime Minister Trudeau right now! incapable of asking for help from to the United States of America Air force and, worse still, total inability to send the royal canadian air force to put out the wildfires.
Weather warfare
I hope it’s what Canada says it is. At this point, I don’t trust anyone.🤷🏾
AOC lied to
LOL we all got masks handy now 😷 😅
Quick! Throw your gas stove out the window! Meanwhile forest fires are like: “hold my beer” 🔥 🌲 🌲 🔥 Maybe we should just ban forests? Joking obviously. I hope those with respiratory issues are okay. I’ve read some comments about responsibly removing hazardous brush from forests. What caused the fires? Let’s be smart and measured in our responses and reactions. 🙏
It might have been a good idea that some of the Hundreds of Billions that the Canadian Prime Trudeau spent during the pandemic that the Parliamentary Budgeting Officer claimed were “non-COVID” related were spent on forest fire personell, equipment and mitigation.
You know what forest can’t burn down?
The ones you cut down to build houses!
Which would also lower housing prices.
But no, we rather end in the same place, with less trees, with the bonus of air pollution and without the houses. Cuz politics.
Clown world. 🤡
