Well, while she didn't produce the much needed rain she is certainly causing some misery. The storm flow is bringing lots of smoke into Tampa Bay. Cough, cough.

The smoke is thick enough to look like fog and ash particles are covering our vehicles

This is the smoke caught in the trees at 9:30 this morning. It's still as bad or worse now.

Florida has 210 wildfires burning at this moment (reported last night on the news)
One mosquito helicopter pilot reported seeing an ATV leaving the scene of a newly lit fire yesterday. He lost the ATV in the tree cover and wasn't able to continue the search because of low fuel.

Firebugs! What is the attraction? Yes, fire is beautiful but the damage, death and grief in the aftermath certainly is not.
