Bring it on! We can use it. Though, the lower humidity right now feels good. Not as muggy as usual.

Be ready, two weeks in mid July, then permanently in October, it should be flooding like a mofo.

Yep, disappointed here too. The closer it got, the less it was. Maybe better luck next time.
But the nice thing was today (Monday) the weather was amazingly cool and overcast. Felt wonderful after the recent heat. Been high ninties, today it was sixties to low seventies. Felt like early spring again!

It is normal for Florida this time of year. During our winter we have all the snowbirds come down and drink our water hahahaha well...they use it up let's say? Rather than April Showers, we have May showers and then hurricane season/summer begins and it rains every afternoon like clockwork...hopefully refilling our reservoirs. Some of the changes in years has been the upper States blocking the water flow down to us. But also we haven't had a hurricane in 11 years (and I pray not one this year: projection is for a less active season than last year yay yay yay!)

The fires are tough yes...and in South Florida (not to be confused with designations like "South Africa"---we are still part of Florida)... the melaleuca tree's seeds are spread by fire...and it's drinking the water too (which is why it was brought here in the first place, to dry up the everglades for land development Sad ) But the fires also kill the pythons in the glades ...

gotta take the bad with the good for now?

But if central Fl continues to need rain, we can pray the tropical storms to go into there Wink

Watched the NSB web cam today and it looked like it was really coming down. Good deal.
