I remember how bad October 2016 was in Alabama with the incredible drought and brush fires everywhere. It was a constant haze and smoky smell with smoke plumes going up in the distance every direction you look. That was a first and only for me.We've got smoke from a wildfire up in Canada polluting our air. The sky has been an eerie grey all day long.
To fully appreciate the progress made to this day and to never forget the nearly 2,000 lives lost, we must look back, despite the reluctance of many.

It truly is horrific. A lot of Maria's deaths were indirect from disease and conditions related to lack of food, water, medical, etc. I also wonder how they have counted those as well. How long after the storm is a death related to Maria?Now government agencies in Puerto Rico are saying that as many as 3,000 lives were lost in Hurricane Maria due to crippled infrastructure from the storm that caused many people to get sick and die. If that's the case, that's even worse than Katrina. I can't believe that was possible.
You aren't the only one. I literally pull out my phone when people ask and then I highly recommend they check out the Dark Skies app.I'm a weather geek, and have been for as long as I can remember. I joined this forum in 2004 and have been part of the staff for nearly a decade. I am a storm spotter. I am awed by the power of mother nature. I will sit at my desk with multiple tabs open during a severe weather event that might be hundreds of miles away, switching between radars, live streams, chaser streams, iembot updates, etc.
I am also the absolute world's worst person to ask what the weather will be doing tomorrow. If it isn't severe, tropical or wintry I'm not keeping up with it. I follow events, but don't know what is happening on a daily basis until that day arrives. If I tell you tomorrow will be cloudy with a high of 53, it is because I came across the info by accident. Otherwise, I find out by saying "Alexa, what is today's weather" or just by going outside.
That's all.
