They don't want to alarm everyone and really stress the need to conserve water and this is where I would like to see Jeff's photos, videos and reports really get some attention on TV, Radio and in the newspapers so people will WAKE UP!!!...Florida is reaching a point where it can not continue to support this booming population increase but God forbid that the state put a limit on new arivals or for that matter, vacationing but it is taking a toll on this states ecological balance BIG TIME! are there any people left up north? one of our local meteorologist's here in NCF just now mentioned that Okeechobee is 9 feet below normal! The air here is just like Dew said, thick with smoke, stagnant and low humidity so with all this dry air over us, north Florida and south Georgia don't stand much of a chance of getting rain anytime soon. The situation is deplorable and continuing to worsen on a daily basis...PRAY FOR RAIN!!!

Things here are getting awfully scary with the dry conditions, with fires popping up daily. That Waycross fire still burns, and the air feels just stagnant. When the winds shift, this area becomes covered in a blanket of thick smoke that burns my lungs. I wish it would hurry up and rain. Unfortunately, our next shot at rain isn't until this weekend.

One can hope. Thanks - There is a slight chance of some rain along the east southeast coast this morning and some isolated storms along the sea breeze later this afternoon. One can hope.
