Wut? I’m sitting in EWR right now and heard nothing about this

Check the monitors, should be refreshing soon, pilots were not able to see anything and they shut the space.

Dang...I got out of ewr like 3 hours ago...did this just start?

Within the past hour or so

You definitely got out of there right in time since it started at least 2 hours ago. The smoke is actually showing up on weather radars. I can’t even imagine how these firefighters are holding up in this weather. It’s a losing battle with these crazy winds and the water freezing so quickly -hope they all stay safe

They retreated and they're letting it burn itself out, last I heard.

Saw it on my inbound a couple hours ago. Even from a pretty good distance on our routing you could tell it was a big, bright fire. Pretty amazing to see.

That’s just New Jersey in a nutshell.

I'm a cashier. We just got a new manager, and she's making things really hard for us. She starts work at 4:30am and leaves around 2:30pm, but she still expects us to stay until 6pm and work on the weekends! She gives us really long shifts and doesn't give us much time for breaks. And when we ask her about it, she gets mad.

I'm worried that if I speak up, she'll make my life even harder. I don't want to lose my job because of this—do you guys have any advice?
