UPDATE: The smoke enveloping New York City is dissipating somewhat, but officials are still urging people to mask up if they go outside. JohnBDias has the latest.
Many New Yorkers were taking no chances and were putting their masks back on when walking around outside."It's very concerning," added Ray Cameron of the Upper West Side."I am being very thoughtful of how I am going about doing my activities."
There wasn't much action on the bike and running paths along the West Side Highway on Thursday morning. Usually, it is one of the country's most heavily used greenways."I am going down to D.C. to see my girlfriend and I don't want to get this all in my system," Hicks said. Some traffic enforcement agents were seen wearing masks, but not everyone was adhering to the warnings.
Emad Youssdef, who works as a street food vendor, said he was taking his mask on and off on Thursday, but 24 hours earlier had it tight across his mouth.While things are supposed to get much better by the weekend, the governor is warning that the smoke event may not be over just yet. The wildfires up north are still burning, so our area may get hit with more smoke in the future.
