The FAA is slowing flight traffic in and out of Newark and LaGuardia airports on Wednesday afternoon. There is currently a ground stop in place at LGA, meaning some flights are being held at their origin airport to ease congestion, but not all.Reporter Josh Einiger recorded the "surreal scene" as his plane landed at LaGuardia:
Health officials are urging area residents to limit outdoor activities on Wednesday as air quality is expected to remain at "unhealthy" to "very unhealthy" levels with no improvements until Thursday at the earliest. The smoke is making for potentially dangerous conditions, especially for people with respiratory issues. Exposure to elevated fine particle pollution levels can affect the lungs and heart.
