Area Remains In Drought, No Relief In Sight
November 13, 2016
A few showers last week may have settled the dust, but it was not nearly enough remain to alleviate our current dought.
Most of the area is in a “moderate drought”, according to a recently released U.S. Drought Monitor. A small area along the Alabama state line in Escambia and Santa Rosa counties is in a “severe drought”. And unfortunately there’s no relief in sight. The latest National Weather Service forecast does not include any rain during the next seven days.

Someone had built a huge trash fire immediately behind the Winn Dixie Shopping Center on Hwy 98/Blue Angel Parkway yesterday. I thought one of the stores in that complex had caught fire after observing the black plume of smoke while driving down Hwy 98. Obviously a burn ban is not in effect in Escambia County – but where is a little common sense?
Are we under a burn ban?
We can smell the smoke from arson lit forest fires in TN, SC, NC, GA, and Alabama.
Cannot imagine what sort of thrill anyone gets from such terrible destruction.
