Medium bad at Eastern Lake and Dune Allen. Irritation for sure.

WMBB had a reporter today (saw the report) saying there were no dead fish on the beaches but that isn't true from the actual videos being posted.

Where are the videos? The only ones I have seen were from a week ago in PCB and photos from Mexico Beach.

Saw a news clip out on Seagrove Beach today with dead dish, eel and shrimp. Not a ton but plenty to show. Lots of coughing by reporter.

This is definitely worse than I was hoping. The Irritation is more pronounced and steady today than yesterday. The only good thing to report is that a lot more Rick Scott supporters seem to be going belly up on Facebook these days.

Three of us tried to go to Henderson Beach State park in Destin yesterday and could not even get out of the car for the toxic air blasting in our faces off the ocean from the red tide. Its invisible in the air. As for the water, its not red, more like diluted dark green where the waves break. I describe the feeling as one of the following: 1) like microscopic shards of glass or poison are going into your lungs. 2) like you inhaled microscopic airborne acid particles. 3) Like microscopic jellyfish are stinging inside your lungs. You start coughing and have trouble breathing and cannot catch your breath. No I don't have asthma and I am a non-smoker. Its heartbreaking to not be able to enjoy such a beautiful coastline and not see the turquoise waters.

Good news Michael will break up Red Tide particles..Bad News dunes and beaches will suffer severely..

As bouts with killer algae rose, Florida gutted its water quality monitoring networkI asked because I guessed correctly that you are confusing the green algae coming from Lake Okeechobee from Red Tide that forms in the ocean. It's like confusing an allegation with evidence.
