My computer has been down for a few days and it is unfortunate due to back to school. However, I still have my National Ocean And Atmospheric Administration Radio To Telephone TV News Reporters in case there is an unreported alert. I am still with you! According to the National Weather Service there are high fire dangers that will continue in the West. Please be mindful of hot, dry, and breezy conditions that could lead to wildfires. As you know, numerous wildfires are still burning in the West regions and dense smoke is causing the air we breathe to become dense. There is a Red Flag Warning and Air Quality Alert in effect!
What does this Red Flag Warning Mean? For Californians, if you are in the Southern area of the state there is an urgency expected! Why California everyone? Because School began early. And because water is important nutrition, school children must keep bottle water on hand due to the drought conditions. For New Yorkers! Today T-storms (again!) Overcast exist this morning (partly Fog) with high of 86 degrees. Tonight low 67 degrees. If you are still enjoying the summer and you are visiting the beach today, there are 3 Water Safety Rules to remember:
1. Don't Swim Alone ~ make sure lifeguards are in sight.
2. If you get caught in a rip current-YELL FOR HELP AND WAVE YOUR HANDS (if you are in swallow water)
3. Always use a flotation device in the water, especially if you can not swim.
4. If you see someone in trouble call 9-1-1, do not jump in to save the person (or throw a life jacket, a ball, or some type of floating device out into the water).
