Hurricane Advice

I'm 150 miles down river. Air quality has been pretty terrible, a light coating of ash on everything. We've had a few sprinkles today, but not nearly enough clean the air or saturate the ground. Praying the lightning stays offshore tonight.

We had a lot of smoke here last week. It's better this week. We had much cooler weather today. Saturday it was 110 here in Woodland Ca.

To add to the list of disasters, there was an 8.0 earthquake in Mexico about an hour ago.

Oh dear. Enough already.

EDIT: And now there are another 2 hurricanes as well? Jose and Katia?

Thought those 2 were tropical storm level...

At the emergency vet with my dog who just twisted his stomach and is in surgery so hey... guess if the world ends I don't have to pay the bill

Thank you.
It's horrible here, and way worse on east side. We were suppose to have 100 degree weather, but the smoke cover is so thick, it's as if we have rain clouds above. Everything is grey all day long.

Ash and grit cover the cars, our eyes itch and faces burn.

I don't know what to do for the bird other than try to give them fresh water regularly as it goops up.

And I'm on the westside...I'm not even east county where it is terrible.

Hopefully rain comes in tonight and flushes the air and stops the fire.

In 1999 I was in Florida when the fires were so bad, Dad had had a stroke. Then a Cat 1 hurricane came through and put them out. Incredible one bad thing stopping another. Lots of rain would certainly help all of you near the fires.

We are told to stay inside and run our air conditioners to purify the air as best we can...only many don't own air conditioners in Oregon as often summers don't get that hot.

Crazy, crazy weather.

Oh my and Mexico is in Katia's sites. Haven't turned on the news yet this am.

I hope your dog's surgery goes smoothly and he makes a quick recovery!

I worry about all the wildfires out there. We were out in Oregon/Washington/California in July and drove through a huge desert region. The was a wildfire burning along the road as we were passing by. Definitely one of the most interesting things we've ever seen. My brother lives out in Bend (we were out there for his wedding). I worry about them all the time. Then with Irma about to hit Florida....my mother in law lives down there. Thankfully she's father up in the state near St Augustine so hopefully she won't get hit too hard.

I just told hubby the other day, with all this craziness, all there needs is a big earthquake to include all the disasters. I didn't mean it!

Thanks, he's out of surgery and hopefully recovers well. Just got home since they'll keep him for a day or two to keep him on fluids and check his vitals and keep his incision clean and him pumped full of IV drugs. He's about 10 years old so was hoping all would go well but he has a strong heart and lungs and is stubborn. Just kind of hard when faced with putting a dollar sign on a pet's life at midnight then rushing to the 24 hr vet hoping he's not already too far gone. Just now home at 3:40am and our other dog is panicked some.

But, at least here in our part of Oregon we got some rain! Much needed... just like sleep. And maybe a rich sugar daddy for the vet bills.

I have friends in Florida and SC so hope all goes as well as it can..

Just too much stress lately!

As of right now this (dotted line) is the expected track, which still puts it very close to Miami.

yea, that was the track that had the eye going right over my sister's house.

Looks like I-75N is a parkinglot, even this early in the morning... 95 looks better. My sister's family is headed North to GA, but she's staying behind. I'm hoping her house survives, since its concrete and survived Andrew...

At least with a hurricane, you know it's coming and you have days to get out. With wildfire, you never know where or when it's gonna happen and might only have minutes to get out.

True Dat...same goes for Tornadoes and Earthquakes.
Had a tornado touch down 5 miles NW of me last summer and move due north.
Ya never know when your number might be called.
