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.

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

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....
