THIS KIND OF EERIE ORANGE GLOW
THROUGHOUT4@ THE SUNSET YESTERDY

BE A LITTLE BIT MORE EXTREME
THAN ONES WE'VE HAD IN THE PAST
.IT'S GOT ITS OWN NAME. NOW

NICKNAMED THE GORILLA DUST
CLOUD. THIS IS HOW IT LOOKED
IN ARUBA. BY THE WAY, 4@I'VE BEN

THAT'S N4@OT FOG. THAT'S BECAUSE
OF BECAUSE OF THE DUST THERE.
THIS VIDEO WAS TAKEN ON MONDAY
DURING THE DAY. IT LOOKS LIKE
ALMOST LIKE A FOGGY HAZE THAT
MIGHT BE PARTIALLY THE CASE BUT
THE MAJORITY IS THE RESULT4@ OF
THE DUST. THERE AGAIN ARUBA
VERY HARRIED DOWN4@ THERE IN THE
CLIMATE. THE MASSIVE DUST PLUME
BROUGHT REALLY HAZY CONDITIONS
AND L4@IMITED VISIBILITY TO MUCH
OF THE CARRIBBEAN OVER THE PAST
SEVERAL4@ DAY. THIS IS PUERTO
RICO RIGHT HERE AGAIN LOOKS
HAZY. IT LOOKS LIKE SMOG4@ A BIT
OF LOS ANGELES OR BAKERSFIELD.
THIS CLOUD IS ABNORMALLY LARGE
AND GRANT HAS BEEN TELLING US
ABOUT THIS FOR DAYS NOW4@. 4@IT
STARTED COMING OFF THE AFRICAN
COAST JUST ABOUT A WEEK AGO.
IT'S STILL MAKING ITS WAY
TOWARD US RIGHT NOW. IT WAS THE
SAME IN QUEUE. BUT CHECK THIS

THOUSANDS OF MILES. IT ACTUALLY
TRIGGERED HEALTH ADVISORIES

STAY INDOORS. SO HOW CAN YOU
PROTECT YOURSELF FROM THIS BAD
AIR QUALITY THAT COMES AS A
RESULT OF THE4@. WELL, EXPERTS
ARE SAYING TO STAY INSIDE WHEN

CONDITIONS LIKE COPD, ASTHMA
AND ALLERGIES. AND OF COURSE
PEOPLE ARE DEALING WITH THE
CORONA VIRUS EVERYWHERE4@ AS WEL
.THE NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF
HEALTH SAYS DUST CAN4@ GET IN TE
AIRWAYS AND CAUSE AN
INFLAMMATORY IMMUNE RESPONSE4@
ACCORDING TO A RECENT HARVARD
STUDY. INCREASED POLLUTION LIKE
DUST4@ CAN LEAD TO A HIGHER
NUMBER OF HOSPITAL VISITS AND
DEATH RATES FROM THE CORONA
VIRUS. SO AFTER ALL THAT IS NOW
BEING SAID. LET'S BRING
IN GRANT. HE'S JOINING4@4@ WITH

LOOK AT WHAT IS CAUSING THESE
ARE THESE DIFFERENT HEALTH4@
EFFECTS FROM THIS MASSIVE DUST4@
PLUME. GRANT, GOOD MORNING. HEY

WHY THERE THERE MIGHT BE ISSUES
IF YOU'VE GOT A RESPIRATORY
ILLNESS OR EVEN IF YOU DON'T
HAVE RESPIRATORY ILLNESSES,
4@ THERE'S A LOT OF THAT DUST AND4@
PARTICULATE MATTER IN THE AIR.
LET ME SHOW4@ YOU THIS GRAPHIC
HERE. THIS PUTS IT INTO
PERSPECTIVE FOR EXACTLY HOW
SMALL THIS DUST IS. YOU THINK
ABOUT OH, IT'S SAND FROM THE
DESERT4@. RIGHT. WELL. SO YOU SE
THERE IN THE LOWER LEFT THERE.

THAT WE MIGHT FIND HERE A
CLEAWATER BEACH AND THAT'S
ABOUT 90 WHAT WE CALL MICRONS
OR4@ MY CHRONISTER MICRO METERS
FINE AT THE VERY TOP. HE SAYS
COMBUSTION PARTICLES THERE THAT
TWO POINT FIVE MICRONS NINETY
NINE POINT4@4@ FIVE PERCENT OF T
SAHARAN DUST IS SMALLER THAN
THAT. SO YOU'RE GETTING4@ TINY
TINY LITTLE PARTICULATE MATTER
THAT SAHARAN DUST INTO YOUR
LUNGS GETTING INTO YOUR
RESTAURATEUR AIRWAVES. AND
THAT'S4@ WHY WE'RE HAVING OR AT
LEAST THE POTENTIAL FOR SOME
RESPIRATORY4@ ISSUES. AND THAT'S
WHERE THE WORST OF THE DUST IS
.YOU SEE THAT PLUME OF DUST
THE CARRIBBEAN AND NOW STARTING
TO MOVE UP INTO THE CENTRAL4@ AD
WE4@STERN GULF OF MEXICO. SO
THAT'S WHEN WE COULD SEE SOME
OF THAT MOVE INTO TAMPA BAY
LATER IN THE WEEK INTO THE
WEEKEND. THIS IS THE FORECAST
HERE A KIND OF ACTUALLY PIVOTS
OUT TOWARDS THE WESTERN GULF
AND THEN STARTS TO DROP D4@OWN
INTO THE TAMPA BAY AREA AS WE
GO INTO SATURDAY AND SUNDAY. I
THINK THIS WEEKEND WE COULD SEE
SOME PRETTY SUNRISES AND
SUNSETS BECAUSE OF4@ THAT. SO OF

AROUND TAMPA BAY. RIGHT. SO WE
WANT TO SEE YOUR PHOTOS IF YOU
