Tuesday 06/21/2011 Air Pollution

There was no wood or yard waste smoke this evening because of heavy rain. It was raining heavily after 4 PM in North St. Paul. I was worried that someone would burn some yard waste during a break in the rain between 4:30 and 8:30 PM but nobody did. It is common for people to burn during breaks in the rain or right before the rain starts. There was a tornado watch for the Twin Cities. By 8:30 PM it was raining again with a thunderstorm and heavy rain by 9 PM. It was a great evening for fresh air. North St. Paul is a much nicer place to live when the air isn't smoky.
