GA/FL wildfires

From today's AJC online:

For the second time in less than a week, smoke from the South Georgia wildfires Tuesday morning was blowing into metro Atlanta.

The smoke, from fires about 250 miles away, began moving into metro Atlanta between 4 and 5 a.m., reducing visibility at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport from 10 miles at 4 a.m. to just 3 miles an hour later.

By 5:30 a.m., the smoke had moved northward to around the top-end Perimeter.

Forecasters at the National Weather Service said southeasterly winds sent the smoke over metro Atlanta, and a low-level inversion —where a layer of warmer air was on top of cooler air at the surface — pushed the smoke to ground-level.

In downtown Atlanta, the heavy smoke obscured the tops of skyscrapers.

The Weather Service said warming temperatures after daybreak, along with a shift in winds, should help dissipate the smoke.

According to the Georgia Forestry Commission, 52 fires that were burning late Monday have scorched more than 345,000 acres.

Wondered what had happened since it wasn't sunny when I woke up this morning. Smelled smoke and then the eyes/throat started burning.....inside the house. Going to be a great (HA!) day....

Hope that we all get some heavy rain soon to help put out the fires and help with the drought we all are undergoing.

I think that the little bean is going to be a sports nut or something cause he is ALL OVER THE PLACE. Felt like he used to be head down until my last appointment (based on where I could feel the hiccups) but now he alternates between being sideways and with his head up underneath my ribs (was there early this morning)! Feels almost like a snake slithering around in there. Someone please tell him to get with the program! ;)
