The CK Daily – Hope for a Quiet October
Good Morning & Happy Tuesday! We made it to October! I’m so ready for it the weather to start actually feeling like Fall so that I can pull out my cozy sweaters!
It’s been a crazy past few days here in Georgia (and surrounding states). Hurricane Helene rolled through last week and the forecast was showing my area taking a pretty direct hit, but the storm made an unexpected turn in the middle of the night which took it further east, sparing my area but devastating many others. My heart breaks for all of those affected by the storm! The destruction is unreal.
The on Sunday morning, in a very bizarre event, a chemical plant in Conyers, GA caught and burned for nearly the whole day, releasing tons of chemicals into the air. The plant isn’t terribly far from where I live, and the winds blew the toxic smoke right into my town causing an eerie haze with a strong chlorine scent in the air. It was honestly pretty creepy looking and concerning not really knowing what you’re breathing in and I certainly felt some physical effects from it. Hoping that the winds will dissipate the toxic chemicals and we can get back to breathing a little easier around here.
With all the recent events, I’m hoping we can catch a break and enjoy a quiet October!
