So you should be preparing for a cat 1 maybe even cat 2 hurricane. We often say prepare for a category higher than we expect.

We do know that its happening and have taken action before. The only difference is the International Visibility came just now, he said. We took a look from above. It is the dry season so there are naturally occurring fires. But what is different about the fire activity down below this year is that Scientists Say what is left of the rainforest is dryer than it should be.

Even if a pail of water and a garden hose is all they have. Okay, he says he just started on that side and came over here and it looks like they are trying to just keep it away from their houses.
