Smoke and Haze
 

Did anyone else smell what I smelled when delivering the morning paper to my wife this Easter morning? I looked at the forecast for our brief return to Ohio which shows many a rainy day. Hope Florida receives some good rains before our return. Be safe out there in these dry conditions, no fires, and happy Easter.

Smoke smell
 

I live in La Reynalda and the smoke smell is bad here. I was told it was from fires in the Ocala Forest.

If it is just a forest fire, why does it have the acrid smell of burning plastic????

It's 8:10 and I opened my lanai doors and the smoke smell was very heavy. See thick smoke in the direction of where the new Lowes is going in on 466A. Would they be burning today....Sunday...Easter Sunday?

No plastic smell.

Bad smoke smell in Charlotte, too. Had to close the lanai doors and can still smell it in the house.

Second hand smoke from the outdoor bar at City Fire

So strong, thought someone's house caught on fire .

Oh, contrare. Maybe it's just in my location. From here, the thickest smoke appears to be in the northeast. Maybe it's rocket fuel from little fat man-boy's failed missile launch:1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:

The fumes are very strong on our lanai in Lynnhaven. Feel it is irritating my eyes. Prayers for those in its wake and the firefighters who are contending with the fires.

I know. To me it smelled like more than just wood. It almost has that burnt electrical motor smell.:yuck:

It's from brush fires along hwy 44 in Lake County! It's bad in Amelia as well. The guy on the radio says he's getting calls from ALL over The Villages asking about it.

Five hundred acres are burning near Mount Dora in Lake County.

This is the smoke from the largest current fire
in the state. If you've got breathing problems you should consider staying inside today. We desperately need rain as do those fighting these fires. At least the wind is down today.

Fernandina burning smell is also horrible.....opened doors for fresh air this morning and thought I had a fire in the house somewhere....

heard on the news its a brush fire burning in Deltona off I-4...I-4 was closed due to the smoke....hubby saw on the news yesterday...

possibly more than one fire out there...

Radio said it was a fire in Lake County. Smoke is spread over all of the villages.

Fires
 

Fires on 44 in Lake County.

We have a house up in Country Club Hills. Is there any talk of evacuation? We're in Ohio.

No. Not near at all. No talk of evacuation, no talk of danger. No need to worry.

It is thirty miles from here at this time.

I hope no other treacherous soul starts a fire. We really need rain.

And while we're at it...Here is a warning for all;

When it does rain for any appreciable amount after this long dry spell.

We will have sinkholes.

and it won't be the developers fault.

We live near 466A and the smell at our house was pretty strong this morning. But then we went to the Spanish Springs area and did not smell it at all. We are back to our house now, and I don't smell smoke here anymore.

I smelled the smoke this morning around 7:00 am in Santiago. It looked smoky over El Santiago golf course. As the breeze picked up, the smell began to disappear.

I thought it was fog at 6:00 getting ready for golf, smell was very strong in Duval

The Morris' are just clearing more land for another neighborhood.




:D

:boom::1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:

Yeah, but you can bet anything that someone will throw shade at the Morse's for it.

Pardon me ma'am but I'm not from these part's for very long. I just moved here last year for a whole lot of reasons but the biggest one was you couldn't see the air in The Villages. Seeing the smoke and smelling the rotten acrid smell of burning plastic is like a Tiptoe Through The Tulips for us, sorta reminds us of home. Hope everyone involved is ok. :thumbup:
