Smoke from Canada Threatens Millions | Seattle News

Smoke from Canadian and Minnesota wildfires is blanketing millions across the Great Lakes, Northeast, and Mid-Atlantic, triggering unhealthy air quality alerts and even forcing a baseball game’s postponement. Officials have shut down parts of Minnesota’s Boundary Waters to fight the flames, while the National Weather Service warns smoke could linger for a week or more, shifting with the wind. Those with respiratory or heart conditions, kids, and seniors are urged to stay indoors — long-term exposure can be deadly. While brief improvements were seen in places like NYC, thunderstorms may offer weekend relief, but fires aren’t expected to die down soon, and unpredictable winds mean smoky skies could return. Stay tuned to local air quality updates. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
