Smoke (Cough! Cough!) chokes Albemarle
Smoke from dozens of wind-whipped wildfires poured across the area this week. Many residents were evacuated to escape the heavy smoke, but a lot more have had to endure it in their homes, businesses and schools. Then fire officials had to close U.S. 17 in northern Camden County, forcing travelers and commuters to take different routes back and forth. Would anyone like to share their smoke-filled experience?
