Burning
Almost three years later to the date, the signals are gone, but the skies look much the same. Recently, a cold front has cleared out the smoke over the northern plains and Great Lakes region, providing a reprieve, if only brief. But with the western part of this continent experiencing a severe drought and burning to the ground, views like this will come back; a scene that is likely to be more of a norm rather than an expectation. One thing I know for certain though, you won't be seeing many searchlights for too much longer.
