Red Tide at Seagrove??

[Beach Runner]

Just got this update. Bummer!

NORTHWEST FLORIDA
A Florida red tide continues in northwest Florida and has moved westward into Escambia County. Higher-than-background concentrations of Karenia brevis, the Florida red tide organism, were found this week as far west as Pensacola Pass. Red tide was also confirmed this week in Okaloosa and Walton counties (fish kills and respiratory irritation were reported last week) and continues in St. Andrew Bay in Bay County and Apalachicola Bay in Franklin County. Two samples from Wakulla County contained background concentrations of K. brevis. Fish kills and some respiratory and eye irritation were reported along most of the Florida Panhandle from Santa Rosa to Franklin counties. Commercial shellfish harvesting continues to be affected. Check with the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, Division of Aquaculture for the most up-to-date information regarding shellfish area closures.

???? We just got back from the beach. Hubby that coughed up a lung last week had 0 problem today. This would include sis-in-law that has asthma. Green flags flying from Grayton to Inlet Beach.

Wish I was there and my wishes that she had stayed....but we have renters in from Huntsville this weekend. :clap_1: :clap_1: :clap_1: I'm glad it is going to be a good weekend for them. I was a little for them.

This is an annual thing for my brother and sister-in-law. Sis-in-law got really sick last year the day they arrived! The flu, bronchitis, and strep! We have been determined to enjoy this year regardless the weather.

We have managed so far, despite the skies!

You might want to let her know that getting sick on vacation is a sign that her "normal" life is out of control.

We are having an intervention. She's almost convinced she must visit SoWal more often. We may need to resort to more Cheezits, more sunsets, and less stress if current methods fail! God it's tough! Check in later after the hot tub therapy!!!! Damn October!!!!!!!

I think we ALL need to visit SoWal more often! I nearly cried when we had to pack up the car yesterday and head back to the Midwest. The skies were a brilliant blue and the beach was beautiful again. Finally! When we arrived on Saturday the 1st, we couldn't even stay on the beach more than a minute. That red tide is strange stuff. I can't describe it exactly, but the air was, well, "different." It didn't affect our throats like it did other people, but it felt very strange, not like regular air at all. It was weird breathing it in and we didn't like it so we got off the beach straight away. By the end of the week, though, it was all back to normal. As mentioned above, Mother Nature on 30-A is ever changing! (Thank god.)

Red Tide Updat 10/14 - Explains why I've been coughing and have a scratchy throat. Maybe that's why my dog isn't eating?

NORTHWEST FLORIDA
A Florida red tide continues in northwest Florida. Distribution of Karenia brevis, the Florida red tide organism, remains patchy in bay areas from Escambia County to Wakulla County. Up to high concentrations of K. brevis were found in St. Andrew Bay (Bay County), and up to medium concentrations were found in Choctawhatchee Bay (Okaloosa County) and St. Andrew Sound (Franklin County). Above-backgrounds concentrations of K. brevis were also found this week south of Cedar Key in Levy County. Fish kills were reported from Okaloosa, Walton, Bay, Franklin, and Taylor counties. Commercial shellfish harvesting continues to be affected.
