If you work in health care, please stop wearing perfume! Please stop layering on the heavily scented products. It's painful to those of us who are scent sensitive and could be deadly for some.

As usual, @suzannerent.bsky.social's reporting is detailed and revealing.

Craziest thunderstorm over my part of Pictou County last night. I don't think I've ever seen so much lightning! 23mm rain in my gauge but hearing that other parts of PC had little to no rain.
