Northeast Florida and southeast Georgia are dry during the peak of the annual wildfire season.

In fact, from April 12-20, Jacksonville had at least eight consecutive days without rain since November 4-11. This lasted him over 5 months. However, April and May are typically dry, with longer days and warmer temperatures, increasing the threat of wildfires. *Click here* to “Be Prepared for Wildfires.”

About 16 years ago, my mother battled an aggressive form of cancer for a short period of 9 months. I recorded her family’s journey over the course of nine months as “A Very Personal Journey: Her Mother’s Battle with Terminal Cancer.” And please help team “Connie Real Fine” fundraise for her PurpleStride *here*. These are my mother’s famous words.
