Halifax continues to burn. As of 11 p.m. Tuesday local time, evacuation orders were still up for a variety of areas in the region of Nova Scotia, in eastern Canada, and the 16,492 residents ordered to flee weren’t being allowed to return to their homes.
More than 788.3 hectares (1,948 acres) were burning and not much under control. The smoke drifted into southern New England, New York and New Jersey and due to mixing in the atmosphere it actually came down to the surface where you could smell it as well as see it. Air quality alerts were posted, and one is still in place for New Jersey. Wednesday proves to be another hazy day.
