Looks like Fla. has a big problem with fires. Is anyone here affected by any of these fires?

SW FL...Ft. Myers area has had some heavy smoke drifting in at times. Most of the smoke has been blown in from northern FL & Southern GA.
Talked to someone in the Naples area last evening and they don't seem to have as much smoke.
As far as fires...no, our immediate area has none, but there have been many smaller fires in the Lehigh area (we are about 20 sq. miles big).
I hope none of our Florida friends have been hit by fires, other than the irritating smoke sessions. -
We're down in Boca Raton and we have had smoke - it hasn't been toooo bad but not pleasant. It looks like fog in the a.m. The wind was blowing in our direction but has shifted as of this a.m. and we had a tad of rain. Lots of boomers and lightning but nowhere near enough rain. LindaComment

We've had smoke and ash, some days worse than others, but relatively clear today.

We got a real downpour very early this morning....YAHOO.... And more expected just about every day. Bad news for tourists/visitors, but great news for the firefighters and those of us who got tired of the smoke in the air.Comment

Glad to hear it!Angela
If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.
BTW, I'm still keeping track of how many times you annoy me.

SOME relief, but not enough, according to the weather people. Even with 'isolated' storms/rain the rest of the week, we still need more. By Monday the weather will turn dry and hot again, putting us right back into major drought conditions. Our rainy season usually starts in mid-June. We are still in a 'high' fire danger condition.Originally posted by funtime2 View PostComment
