People in New York City are waking up to a disturbing sight today as a thick, smoky haze has enveloped the city, prompting concerns about air quality and public health.
A thick reddish haze can be seen circling many of the cities landmarks this morning, including the Statue of Liberty, Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridge and much of the NYC skyline.
As a result an Air Quality Health Advisory has been put into effect for several regions, including Long Island, New York City Metro, Lower Hudson Valley, Upper Hudson Valley, Adirondacks, Eastern Lake Ontario, and Central New York.
