Yesterday, Wednesday July 15th the wind blew wild fire smoke to the area of S. W. Ontario.
The sun disappeared, blocked by the smoke which was laden with partials containing chemicals etc. from everything burning in Northern Ontario. It actually looked like a yellow pea soup fog had descended on us.
People were advised to close windows and doors and stay inside, if it was necessary to go out, make it short. No one was taking an afternoon stroll, dog walkers made the trip outside just long enough for the animal to do what it needed to do.
The smoke was so thick by evening, we saw nothing which would indicate the sun was setting.
This morning, July 16th the air quality has improved somewhat, however, I don't hear or see any birds,
Such an eerie felling,
If it this bad several hundreds of miles from the fires I cannot imagine what it is like to be closer to all the destruction.
