....visibility is down to 3 miles and the smell of smoke is really
strong. The closest GA/FL fire is at least 500 miles from here.

Looks like they're calling off the wind, so it should be fine. Neat
boat! Check your mail....

I am 100 miles from it and on Monday and Tues the vis was about .25
mile. Today, after a light rain it is very clear.
The Apalachicola National Forest adjacent to Tallahassee has an
aggressive controlled burn policy that heas kept wildfires to a very
low level inthe drought. Apparently Okefenokee and Osceola Nat Forest
do not do nearly as much controlled burn and thinning so they have
probs.
