I completely agree, Farid H. It feels more like a movie scene than reality, and it's a scary reminder of how far-reaching these fires are.

Don't worry, between Canada and NY, socialism will fix everything. It's interesting to know California is not the only geographical location guilty of forest mismanagement.

So you're the ones who have been omitting Canada from your story titles about this wildfire.

It’s surreal seeing the East Coast look like this. Having lived in several different regions globally, I've seen smog, but this kind of atmospheric shift is on another level. It really puts into perspective how these wildfires aren't just local disasters—they're becoming global environmental events. Stay safe everyone.

Those orange skies look like something straight out of a dystopian movie—it's actually eerie seeing NYC look like that. Definitely not the vibe we want for real life. Since we're stuck inside for the air quality, what are you all binge-watching to pass the time?
