Hazardous air quality conditions in New York

Across the eastern U.S., officials warned residents to stay inside and limit or avoid outdoor activities again Thursday, extending “Code Red” air quality alerts in some places for a third-straight day as forecasts showed winds continuing to push smoke-filled air south.

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul said the state was making a million N95 masks — the kind prevalent at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic — available at state facilities, including 400,000 in New York City. She also urged residents to stay put.

“You don’t need to go out and take a walk. You don’t need to push the baby in the stroller,” Hochul said Wednesday night. “This is not a safe time to do that.”

Finally...the air in a subway tunnel is healthier than outdoor air.

You’re not gonna tell me what to do if I wanna go outside I’ll go outside

[vikikat]

The air quality is so bad that they recommend that you stay inside if you can.

Of course you have idiots standing outside just looking at it.

The Mayer of newyork couldn’t predict 2+2 what makes you think he’s going to do a thing here

[OR]

This is all by design in my opinion, they should know a little more into the future !

Bad air but nobody is wearing mask lol

[kovacks]

I'm pretty sure God said it wouldn't be a flood this time it would be a fire

[TheWestlandgirl]

Same as in Michigan esp Detroit. Rated "Unhealthy " by our weather app. Advised to stay indoors.

[Garlander]

The entire west coast gets this bad almost every year the last 5 years now

[cMARVEL]

As a Californian, I can tell you this isn't a big deal unless you are old.

The air probably smells of a nice Wood Fire.

Just wear your mask when you go out. I would avoid the High rise buildings though... I suspect the thicker smoke particles will be amassing there in the city and last longer and become more Toxic due to th lack of Air flow.

WE'RE IN DELAWARE AND WE ARE GETTING BAD AIR QUALITY TOO BUT, I SEE THAT IT'S MUCH WORSE THERES IN NY

[djdigital]

I live in Las Vegas and it was cloudy ☁️ here yesterday. It’s never cloudy here. It was 20 degrees cooler at 80 degrees, normally about 100. We can smell the burning 🔥 smoke. Wow

I left NYC a few months after 911.
Never came back.
Traumatized
