Classes have been cancelled at Hampton Elementary School and Hope Christian Academy.

We were getting smoke from the north FL and GA fires all the way down here in Tampa. It was like a stinky fog this morning on the way to work. I had a headache and burning eyes until about lunch time. I can't imagine how bad it is closer to the fires. Hopefully they get them under control soon.

I hear ya, a few days ago it wasnt that bad, now its blowing ash all over, i walked outside and almost puked from the smell, and the ashe gets in your mouth, and im a smoker

Ummm, are you thinking of maybe getting out of there? :unsure:

Seriously, that's what I'm thinking...It must be pretty bad if everyone's eyes are watering IN the building. I'm sure they will let you all go home.

we thought that to, half the call center is coughing, the other half is like " my eyes sting" and we are still here. i have 20 mins left til i go home, but im wondering if it gets worse tomorrow what will they do

We finally cleared up with all that smoke but it was REALLY bad for a while. I know what you're going through Tara :(

eta: They closed SEVERAL roads here in Jax when the smoke got bad so check to see if there have been any road closures :)
