Wildfires in Georgia and Florida continue to spread, causing evacuations and destroying homes.
On April 22, Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp declared a state of emergency for 91 counties in the state due to the wildfires, according to a news release published by Georgia's Office of the Governor.
"With much of Georgia remaining in extreme drought conditions, wildfires have already surpassed the state's 5-year average and continue to spread," Kemp said in a statement.
North and central Georgia are also expected to see hazy skies as smoke from fires in northern Florida and southern Georgia is carried northward, according to the National Weather Service in Atlanta.
Fires have also destroyed over 50 homes in southeast Georgia, the Guardian reported. People in the area of the fires have also been forced to evacuate, and some schools have been closed.
