More Wildfires
This time to my west in Escambia county on the Perdido River [the border between Florida and Alabama] near the town of Beulah, south of I-10. Smoke advisories are in effect around Pensacola.
They expect to have the fire contained tomorrow, but aren’t sure why it started.
Pensacola had a record high of 93° today, so it looks like a it’s going to be a long summer. We may get to the point that we would welcome a tropical storm to cool things off and wet things down.
UPDATE: National Weather Service Statement as of 10:36 AM CDT on May 14, 2007
… Smoke from the south Georgia… North Florida wildfires is spreading gradually to the west across the Florida Panhandle… South Alabama and into southeast Mississippi…

Well…looks like firefighters are going to be busy…very busy.
We are more or less prepared, because we knew it would happen with all of the debris in the forests and no rain.
