Lake Okeechobee on Fire

The last two weeks we have been experiencing smoke from a muck fire on Lake Okeechobee. Depending on the direction of the wind some days are worse than others. More than 11,000 acres have burned at Lake Okeechobee, and the organically rich muck could burn for weeks. Officials say the only solution for the muck fires is rainfall, but none is expected in our area until at least Saturday. In the meantime we are taking Zyrtec and praying for rain.
