Even Atlanta, Georgia was covered in smoke, which blocked out the sun and the country's iconic architecture and views.

As for Thai tourist Nicha, the cloud of smoke was a major disappointment for her.

Jack Wright came down with a cough as a result of the air pollution.
Individuals like Charmaine Franco took steps to keep safe once outside.
Although the orange smoke began to fade, the smell of burning remained behind, hanging over New York.
