Friday 07/01/2011 Air Pollution
There was no wood or yard waste smoke this evening due to heat and a thunderstorm. It was 97 degrees at 6:00 PM with a storm moving in. By 6:45 or so there was some strong winds and a big drop in temperature down to 77 degrees. I was worried that someone would burn tonight after the temperature dropped. Fortunately, we got some rain that put a damper on the wood burning. Around 8:25 PM it started raining heavily with a thunderstorm and the Ramsey County storm sirens were sounding. The downpour lasted only a few minutes then we had drizzle until around 9:30PM then the rain stopped. I was disappointed that the rain had ended because I feared someone would start a bonfire. Luckily for us and everyone around us nobody did.
