Smoke: Eerie Pre-Dawn Image, from the Kitchen Window, at 05:18
Smoke from Eastern British Columbia and Alberta (West of Edmonton and around Calgary), Canada.
Dozens of forest fires began recently after a bout with heat and continued dryness in these Canadian Provinces. The winds carried the smoke directly to the Denver Metro Area; nearly 1,300 miles to the Southeast of these fires.
Today the Air Quality Index (AQI) was so poor here, that Denver, Colorado was ranked in the top five cities of the world with the worst AQIs. It is easy to smell this smoke from the burning trees this far away. Edmonton, Alberta, for example, is ~1,255 miles (or ~2,020 km), from the Denver Metro area!
Praying for our Canadian neighbors' safety as they battle these fires. Trusting that the smoky air here will clear out soon.
