Fire & Smoke S. Florida

Pasta Mike · 05-17-2008, 06:32 AM

Just came in from out side was going to wash the R. Not only could you smell smoke but could see it also, so much for washing till the wind picks up. I'm in West Del Ray Beach, Palm Beach County, who else has smoke this morning??

Smokin'...... out west of here for three days. Luckily the eastern breezes off the water have pushed it inland for two days and then turned to the northwest (towards you!). It's beautiful here and my truck is clean.

Sorry Mikey.

Yes, still smokey around the central coastline. 6,000 acres burned and smoldering.

Hey you guys on the East Coast are not the only ones smelling the smoke.

We had two days last week here in Clearwater, that it was pretty strong.

Hope everyone over there is OK.

Damn, the wind has shifted or there's a new fire. Smokin' badly here now. I'm not used to anything but clean ocean breezes, this sucks! Not to mention my truck is no longer clean and resembles and ashtray!

I turned on all the fans and pointed them back south so I could wash my SSR.

Sorry Sis.

Very funny bro.

Now one of the two units in my a/c is broken... the main part of the house. I feel like I'm living in HELL down here!

Annie, Take your bra off. That will cool you down, or not.

No! Send some down here, my grass is gettin' crunchy. At least the smoke is gone (for now). The fires in the 'Glades are still burning.

I saw this yesterday... I just looked again and the 3 fires that were down here are gone. I guess that means that forestry got them put out. I appreciate those guys, what a job during the "brown" season.

So how are ya'll? Watchin' NASCAR?
