How dry we are in Manatee-Sarasota



Splendid weather we have been having lately. Moderate temperatures, low humidity, regular breezes.

But the lack of rain and those other factors have conspired to make Manatee and Sarasota counties the worst in the state for danger of wildfires.

The Keetch Index shows that much of Manatee and Sarasota is sort of a deep red color, which is not good news. Red is bad. Green is good. Even worse, there is a big lavender blob where the threat is even more severe.

Check out out the story in Wednesday's Herald.

And Lakewood Ranch residents, please see Nick Williams' story on the Shah report, which seeks to explain why water pressure leaves a lot to be desired.

Nick reports that it is going to take spending some big bucks to make things right.
