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

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.
