Canyon Fire smoke over parts of Southern California forces Air Quality Alert
Smoke from nearby wildfires is causing harmful air pollution over the weekend in parts of Southern California, according to the National Weather Service. The South Coast Air Quality Management District issued an Air Quality Alert on Friday night in response to the Canyon Fire near Lake Piru, which has burned more than 5,300 acres as of Saturday morning. The alert was issued due to harmful fine particle pollution, the NWS said. "Particles in wildfire smoke can get deep into the lungs and cause serious health problems such as heart attacks, strokes, asthma attacks, and difficulty breathing," the alert reads. "Everyone can be affected, but people with lung or heart disease, older adults, people who are pregnant, children, and those who spend a lot of time outdoors are at greater risk." The alert is in effect for the Santa Clarita Valley, San Fernando and San Gabriel valleys and the Inland Empire. It expires Sunday morning for the Santa Clarita Valley, but on Saturday night at 8 p.m. everywhere else. The NWS recommends the following tips for those who could be at-risk for smoke exposure:

Extreme heat continues across North Texas this weekend as the indices peak at 108 degrees
Happy tax-free weekend. It'll be a great Saturday to head into the air-conditioned stores – highs will be flirting near the triple digits with heat index up to 108 degrees. A Heat Advisory is in effect for most of North Texas until about 7 p.m. The dry and hot weather this week was caused by a ridge of high pressure dominating in the upper levels of the atmosphere. This ridge is expected to shift to the west over the next few days, which will allow for a change in the weather pattern. Temperatures will be on the decline, eventually dipping below average through mid-week next week. Pop-up showers and storms will also be possible. As of now, no severe weather is expected. Stay tuned.

Local volunteers to feed flood survivors in Texas
Aug. 9—A Priceville-based volunteer organization, North Alabama Boys, will travel to Texas on Sept. 7 to feed flooding victims and volunteers. Rand Hutchison, North Alabama Boys' leader, said the group wants to provide three meals a day through Sept. 14 while there. "Our first thought has always been the food, to cook for people and cook for them well," Hutchison said. "We've found it's our little niche to show up a little later than everybody else. There's obviously a big need when a disaster first happens. There are other groups that go in and they meet that need, which is fantastic, but as always, the support starts to kind of dwindle a bit as time goes on." The group will travel to central Texas, where catastrophic flooding killed at least 130 people and damaged the houses and property of countless others over the Fourth of July weekend. Although the volunteers have contacts in Kerr County, where some of the most severe flooding occurred, they're open to traveling elsewhere as they're needed. Similar to its efforts in North Carolina last year, the organization wants to provide "good Alabama barbecue and good Alabama cooking" to the people in need, Hutchison said. Meals will include breakfast burritos and ribeye sandwiches or hamburgers. A mix of old and new faces totaling 12 volunteers will travel to Texas. At this time, contacts in Texas tell the group they'll know other specific needs closer to September. "We're going to go with a goal of being very adaptable," Hutchison said. "If we get there and we see a need, we're going to meet the need." The nonprofit is still reaching out to local organizations and businesses to gather supplies. Burningtree Country Club will provide some of the food items, according to Hutchison. North Alabama Boys has a fundraising goal of $15,000 to cover the cost of the relief effort. Hutchison said the group has raised around $10,000 so far. With these funds, volunteers should be able to feed between 300 and 400 people each day. Anybody wanting to get involved or make a donation can either visit the organization's Facebook page, NA Boys, or its website, Another local volunteer group, Project Unify, has also helped in Texas since the flooding. "We are currently still in and out of the work in Texas," its website reads. "The flooding that devastated communities has left behind lots of work. It is our goal to represent the body of Christ in service, as well as in teaching. ... We request your prayers, involvement, and if possible your support as we continue forward with these efforts. To God be the glory!" The nonprofit's website, includes a PayPal QR code and donation link. — or 256-340-2437
