For hours on Monday morning, the surreal scene covered much of South Florida, cutting visibility in some places to a mile or two, obliterating parts of the skyline, closing a major road, forcing a health advisory, and sending first-day summer campers indoors.
The smoke came from a huge Everglades brush fire in West Broward, which burned nearly 20,000 acres, according to the Florida Forest Service.
Less smoke wafted into the suburbs and along the coast Tuesday morning, although the fire continued to burn.
Comment: It's hardly arson if they broke out in multiple locations simultaneously across the state. Teenagers are a convenient scapegoat to keep folks believing the authorities can do anything about earth changes. Note that they acknowledge the Santa Ana winds are supposed to happen in October, not May! Did the teenagers cause that too?...
