[JeepURE]

Wildland fires east of the Triangle.

Hell, even here in CH/Durham I can smell it.

 

[Black Bear]

I thought it was just some haze... then i stepped outside.

Wral article noted columbia NC, about 100mi away from raleigh the way the crow flies.... Thats alot of smoke.

 

[BRUISER]

Wral is also saying that small children and elderly folks should not be outside breathing this smoke for prolonged amounts of time..

 

[6BangBronk]

I remember smoke blowing all the way up here when Georgia was on fire a few years ago.

 

[6BangBronk]

Smells like someone pissed on the camp fire...

So what were you doing outside? Don't you listen, or is your hearing gone too?

It definately sucks in Kinston! I felt like I was breathing sand spurs this morning. Yesterday it was thick enough in Greenville that the runway lights at PGV airport were on at about 3:00 pm.

One of my best friends works for NC forest service and he is there fighting the fire.
He was burned up a bit yesterday and was rushed to the medic and back at it today....I cant smell it, but I hope they get some rain out there.

 

[rockcrawler321]

Winston's supposed to see smoke from it tomorrow. Saw some patches today.
