Canadian wildfire smoke seen on East Coast has made its way to Texas
The orange images from the East Coast look unreal, with the wildfire smoke making the skyscrapers in New York City disappear. Some smoke from the same fires has reached North Texas, but there are other reasons our air quality is suffering.
People who live in those areas are urged to stay indoors while the trucks are spraying.
They’re also encouraged to use bug sprays or other protection against mosquito bites.
