Wildfires of Florida

          Over the past week there have been about 266 Wildfires all across Florida. Most of the fires were extenguished as soon as they started, there were a few in Orlando over the weekend that were not put out right away. The reason for all these wild fires is Florida has not seen enough rain over the past month. It's drought index is at a 551 which is very high.
          It's not good at all that Florida is experiencing these wildfires. It causes more smoke to the air and the lack of rain does not help at all. I've smelled smoke around for the past week and I've wondered what it was from and now I know that it is from the wildfires. Hopefully, we'll get some rain soon and there will be no more wildfires.
