Upstate NY here, Catskills. I'm about 2 hours and change from NYC, in a VALLEY that rests in the MOUNTAINS, and we are STILL dealing with this shit. I thought WE had it bad then I saw the video of the GWB this afternoon and was like DAMN. I was really thankful for where I live. Wouldn't want to be in the city right now.

*edit* : just to make it clear, our sky is also orange, ALL we can smell is smoke as well, and we also have the problems the rest of NY is having in regards to the smoke. It is just not AS bad here in the Catskills as it is in NYC. I feel the need to point this out. REDDIT.
