What are you people doing up at 1:00 A.M. - 3:00 A.M.?

Around that time is when I get up for one of my nightly pee sessions.

I might just log-in and see what is going on.

I'm 2.5 hours south of Rich Z and when I sneeze from the pollen I see dust.

I've lived in the Sarasota area for over 63 years and only been hit three times (that I remember, it's an age thing) and a bunch of big blows. The natives call Miami to Ft. Meyers hurricane alley, something about the gulf stream and the storms attracted to warm water.

I got 3 inches yesterday and 2.5 inches today...(so far) And 70% chance again tommorrow....Growing up around here in the 60's and 70's it always rained every afternoon in the summers. Between 1 and 3 oclock you could count on a thundershower just about daily. Then it would clear off and be so humid you thought you were in a sauna....

I too am a native here (Tampa) and growing up 50+ years ago, recall similar weather patterns. Always rained for a few hours then quit and got hot.

Rich, Yesterday I spoke with a collegue who handles my work up in the Tallahassee area. He said it was so bad that in some areas, such as waculla and the outlying area, on the back wood roads, he either has to take the 4x4 or service has to wait for a week until it dries up.

As far as the hurricanes, it seems South and South and North Florida get hit the most The Panhandle is a hurricane magnet for anything coming up the Gulf.

Just got in and in my e-mail is a standby status for our SAR team. My be going to the panhandle if they activate.

I guess the state has activated the EOC due to the flooding and more rain to follow....
