So much smoke...

May 08, 2007 17:10

The whole city has been hazy with smoke all day from the fires all over Florida. It's better by the water right now (i.e. at school, at our house), but everything still smells like smoke, everyone's throat and eyes are burning, everyone's coughing, it all feels gross and awful. I can't even imagine what it's like closer to the areas. I haven't heard reports of any deaths, or anything about people's homes, etc. So far it seems like they're brush fires encompassing huge spans of acres. Supposedly they started from some lightning the other night? So the plan at this point is to try to contain them until the rain comes in a couple of days. The tropical storm is blowing it all all over the place, and it's all just... bad. The air is thick and bad and everyone seems worried. I don't like it.

In other news, I am exhausted, but SO excited to get to spend time with Katie tonight, and go to the Gwen Stefani concert. Oh yeah, I'll admit it. I don't care, I loved her with No Doubt when I was 11, and I've never stopped. And yes, I know how lame she's gotten, etc.
