USA — The smoke from the giant wildfire burning north of Los Angeles is so thick it may become visible in Minnesota.

Wednesday morning, the smoke was riding winds at 50,000 feet, meaning it will be high enough to create a haze and colorful sunsets in the midwest.

However, the haze will not be thick enough to create any health hazards here.

A local air quality specialist said the smoke could spread over parts of Minnesota by Thursday.
