I'm in one of the Orange zone areas of Eastern PA, it is really something to see. I've never experienced that strong of a smell and thick haze, especially from something so far away. I wasn't up on the news, and was very concerned when I stepped outside yesterday and saw the conditions since our area was under a fire watch due to high temps and low humidity. My immediate thought was that something close was burning.
