I have been really concerned about these fires not so much the the burning flaming but the smoke. I was watching the weather channel and they said that all the way up to Nashville has rather bad air conditions because of the fires. I for one have Asama and allergies. Is anyone else concerned about this? and what should we do to prepare in case?

oh, and also, bring otc allergy medicine if you can't get the prescription stuff first. i was on vacation for 8 days and when i came back home this past sunday, my nose and throat was bothering me (and i don't get allergies). the air quality is just bad right now, so come prepared.
Good Ideas! well I have singulair so that should hep plus the otc stuff I will probably bring a surgeon mask too if its dusty it will help with that also ( though I prefer my bandanna)

Yeah, the smoke is awful here in Birmingham as well. I've been having problems with it myself....hopefully we can at least get some rain, and maybe that will help. I might bring a mask or something. Try talking to your doctor and see if he can prescribe you something or give you an inhaler just in case.

In south florida, the fires smoked us a couple of weeks ago and now things are clear. But i remember its was foggy and smoky for 4 days straight. I rec carry around an inhaler or put wet napkin to your face. it helps.
On the plus side... yes there is one... I think all the smoke kept the temperature down. It was smokey, but stayed in the low 80's. Kinda like clouds blocking the sun I guess.
Up here in Knoxville, I did see an air quality advisory a couple of nights ago, but you can't smell the smoke at all. It's hot as piss, since it's summertime in the South, but no smoke. We do live in the Tennessee Valley, though, so it might be different...
I don't think Manchester would be too bad...Chattanooga's almost in Georgia.
It's definitely been a factor here in N. Cackalacky, which is pretty much on the same parallel as Tennessee. Weird hazy-looking days with not much humidity.

We are about 45 miles west of Bonnaroo and there was alot of smoke today. We could smell it. Haze all day long. It was a little troublesome being outside --- and I'm a smoker.

we have been in the thick of the smoke for the past few months in south GA. Please keep us informed on the conditions around the farm, as the smoke is big factor for some in our group.
Here in Bonnarooland it has been pretty smokey. Yesterday was much worse than today but winds I think have shifted. I also think it has been keeping the temps down but I think I had rather be hot. It just smelled like one big campfire everywhere you went. It could be worse though because when I lived out in Cali the ash would rain down on the cars even at 50 miles or so out and in looked like snow. They would tell you not to leave your house. I am sure some of our brothers and sisters in fl and ga know all about that now. Yeah and no doubt pray for rain!!

We had a code orange health alert today, whatever that is. It was actually much better today than the last few. No smoke smell. No burning eyes or trouble breathing. I'll keep you posted.
I've been watching the radar and it looks like the bottom half of florida is covered. We just need it to get over south georgia to put out the fires, it is really smokey here again right now, I hope the fires get put out this weekend.
HEADED TO BONNAROO!!!!
