The Putrid Petro Smell has finally arrived in Tampa Bay!!

[FreeJG]

I went for a run yesterday, over the Dunedin Causeway and all seemed fine, still.

Last night, I get a swollen throat gland, worse today, headache, and sore neck. Today still irritated.

Tonight, we went out to a restaurant, and all seemed fine still. When we walked out just a few minutes ago, it was a little breezy, and the smell of fuel was in the air big time!!! My hubby insisted it was something about where we were...so now we have arrived home...get out and the air is the same. The paper today, said when the fuel smell arrived, we could have the symptoms that I am experiencing. The smell is right on time...they said tonight. We still may not get any devastation to this area, and we are all praying. But the "acrid" air would come. There were already dead birds on the beaches...they said we would see them as they try to leave the areas, and make it here only to finally die.

Well...the petro smell is here....and man it sure stinks!!!! I cannot run or bike outside now! Must exercise indoors now, with the weather here so beautiful. This is criminal. This is only the beginning, I'm sure.
