Florida springtime thunderstorms...

Yeah, I know some of the state is in drought conditions, and normally May is the driest month in these parts (Tallahassee) as well. But not this year, and not for the last couple of years either. I was sitting at my computer and heard some thunder off in the distance. But not staying in the distance as it is getting closer. So I took a look at the weather map radar. See below. See the TLH marker? I'm right below that. Looks like a giant storm claw swooping down on me, doesn't it?

It rained like hell yesterday (05/08) and the road at the end of our driveway was a mess. Perils of living off of an unpaved road I guess. But when all I had was the Jeep Wrangler, it didn't bother me at all. Maybe I should have tried to find a 4 wheel drive Z06, eh?

I do love thunderstorms. I hate driving in them though. We just got a little bit of one this morning. It's good, we really needed the rain.

Same here IVO. We've had about 4 hours of good steady rain. Looks like it will be over about noon. Glad to see it. I was starting to look for water restrictions>>> not good
