Please,everyone,
I ask you to keep fire fighters in your prayers!
these guys are dressed in heavy protective gear..
which is already HOT..
and to be physically active exerting body movement..
you KNOW they have to be sweltering!
Now for news and views on the other side of my world..

either to frolic or surf these deadly conditions..
Wind gusts 45-50mph accompany rain as it continues falling along the northeasterly track of the storm..
as she moves away from my part of the panhandle..
leaving sunshine and and lesser waves for the surfers..
hopefully once she has come ashore, the rains will become beneficial instead of destructive flooding..
and life will resume a more leisurely pace for summer fun..
now for even more fun..

Actually, we do have one death. The body of a mother, discovered 300 yards away from her destroyed home was found clutching her live baby. The baby has broken ribs and pelvis but should survive.
