Are you covered in yellow?

The pollen count this morning in Atlanta was 5,733!!!  The extremely high category starts at 120.  We are 47 times above extremely high.   From what I can tell this is a top 5 pollen count ever.  The highest was in 1999 when it topped 6,000.  It is supposed to rain tomorrow and that will hopefully wash most of it out of the air and off our cars.  However, the pollen count is taken at 7am and the rain isn't supposed to start until later, so tomorrow's pollen count could be even higher!

Here's a link to the Atlanta Allergy Clinic.  They do the official pollen count and have a chart and archives of previous months.
