CNN said that Governor Crist held a news conference and said that 54 out of the 67 counties in Florida have active fires burning right now. We're hoping that a band of rain from Subtropical Storm Andrea will give us some rain -- they say it's headed back towards Florida. Reminds me of the James Taylor song, "Fire and Rain." Just hope it doesn't turn into a hurricane -- then it'd be "Fire, Rain, and Hurricane."
Unfortunately, last I heard of Andrea, if we do get rain it will not be a soaking rain and won't help w/ the fires.
How are all these fires being started? Was I the only one who learned from Smokey the Bear?
Perhaps people could refrain from tossing lit cigarettes out of their cars until we get some rain.................
I'm confining my cooking to indoors, no BBQ for me until we get rain!
