Ugh. Anyone smell the smoke from NJ Palisades brush fires very early "morning" 3:30AM+

Thought it was a smokestack release, but after 10 mins getting worse, and subtle differences in smell decided it was real fire.
Checked news at that point - nothing.

Then realized, "Hey, I got masks!" 😄 Cut smell by 80%+! But couldn't sleep w it. Finally back to sleep around 7A. More nap after lunch.

[we can do it]

1. Can smell it down coast in RB Delaware.

2. 1. How do we know it is N.J.? Parkway goes into N.Y. state.

2. There are several fires going on. How do you know that what you are smelling comes from that fire?

Plus having just double checked the map - I am close to a straight line from NJ to passing the very northern tip of Manhattan Island into the going northwards middle of the western side of The Bronx.

The NJ/NYS border isn't for at least another 4+ miles north of me. 👍

3. Wow! It got much better after 7AM (yesterday), came back in the eve for a couple of hours. Gone around 10PM

Must be wind direction!

6. Sorry - the response was meant to the person in Delaware.

Yes, wind direction (and smoke) usually goes from west to east. So the smoke you smelled did come from the Palisades Parkway.

7. No problem!

5. Triggered a memory from later 80's, or early '90s Smoke from ?Tennessee, or Kentucky fires gave us hazy skies, and a...

mild to modest smoke smell up here.

It was the first time that I remember (in my late 30's+) anything like that had ever happened.

[Historic NY]

8. There are multiple fires in the area

Greenwood lake near Milford in Sussex NJ A young NY Park & Historic Preservation was killed by a falling tree at Jennings Creek These fires are set by humans hand we have been under fire warning for weeks.
