Holy smokes!

There were grass fires 200 km north of BA that got out of control. The winds blew the smoke into Buenos Aires. This was something that no one in the city had ever experienced before. It closed highways, the domestic airport, the port, bronchial airways....

This is the usual view out my window at work........




This was the view that morning........



I think that bright spot is the sun.....







If you have asthma in this town, you could be in really big trouble. It lasted for several days. Once the wind shifted, it dissapated but lingered in buildings where the air circulation is poor.
