Default New Englands Dark Day

1780: an unusual darkening of the day sky was observed over the New England states and parts of Canada. The primary cause of the event is believed to have been a combination of smoke from forest fires,. a thick fog, and cloud cover. The darkness was so complete that candles were required from noon on. The moon was seen as blood red! It did not disperse until the middle of the next night. The darkness was seen at least as far north as Portland, Maine, and extended southwards to New Jersey. Many thought it was 'the day of Judgement' as per Revelation 6:12-13!

The likely cause of the Dark Day was smoke from extensive forest fires. When a fire does not kill a tree and the tree later grows, scar marks are left in the growth rings. This makes it possible to approximate the date of a past fire. Researchers examining the scar damage in Ontario, Canada, attribute the Dark Day to a large fire in the area that is today occupied by Algonquin Provincial Park.
