wildfires

Are you smelling smoke? Seeing a haze? That is the smoke from the Canadian wildfires in the air moving through Minnesota, Iowa, Illinois, and Wisconsin.

We know that life can be dangerous. I will admit that I didn't know that Wisconsin was in so much jeopardy though until I saw 12 somewhat terrifying risk assessment maps from FEMA about potential natural disasters.

Smoke from the Canadian wildfires is still overwhelming Illinois residents, and it can be dangerous for our pets too.

If the skies have a hazy look to them Monday, it'll be for a similar reason to what Missouri and Illinois have been dealing with over the past few weeks, but this time the wildfire smoke is originating from a brand new place.

That campfire-ish scent that was wafting through the stateline last week has been chalked up to Canadian wildfires, and now another side-effect of those wildfires, this time visual, is here in the form of really cool, colorful sunsets.
