During Operation Desert Storm, Dr. S. Fred Singer debated Carl Sagan on the impact of the Kuwaiti petroleum fires on the ABC News program Nightline. Sagan said we know from the nuclear winter investigation that the smoke would loft into the upper atmosphere and that he believed the net effects would be very similar to the explosion of the Indonesian volcano Tambora in 1815, which resulted in the year 1816 being known as the Year Without a Summer, in massive agricultural failures, in very serious human suffering and, in some cases, starvation.
Quoting: Carl SaganIn retrospect, it is now known that smoke from the Kuwait Oil Fires dominated the weather pattern throughout the Persian Gulf and surrounding region during 1991, and that lower atmospheric wind blew the smoke along the eastern half of the Arabian Peninsula, and cities such as Dhahran and Riyadh, and countries such as Bahrain experienced days with smoke filled skies and carbon fallout.

Carbon Fallout is ash. Very similar to volcanic ash. [

It tells you exactly what you need to know about the health effects of breathing oil smoke.
Please copy this to anyone you know in the southeast. You need to get out as soon as they start burning that oil.
Find family, or good friends with family, and explain the situation. Anyone you care about needs to know what to do if this happens. Prepare for the worst, because the worst is now being discussed in the news. They're just not telling you what you need to know to survive.
