Where's the Rain??

19 years ago

The news says it's North of us. I hope so. You guys need it bad up there, all way north of Orlando.

Maybe it will help Lake Okeechobee a little.

    After the 12 drops we had, I tried to convince wife that Rain is Water that falls from the sky. I don't think she believes me. :-)

    it ain't here. Skies have been dark most of the day. Although I came through a really nice downpour on the way home after lunch just 5 miles from home...no rain at home. PLEASE do a rain dance for me...I can't dance! lol

    Cindeea,

    It has been cloudy here all day too, except for this evening. Almost clear sky.

    Finally, finally, some lovely, steady rain here. I moved all the inside plants outdoors to enjoy the feeling(G).

    We need a solid week or two of rain. Bet we don't get it!

    We are South/East of Lake Okeechobee, so unfortunately, this moisture won't help the lake.

    We got some rain (north Tampa) but not enough to help the pond that is mostly mud right now. Still I know the grass and plants enjoyed it and it filled the rain barrels.

    We had heavy rain around 4 am this morning, lasting at least 2 hours. And going to work this morning it rained the whole way up (about an hour)! I must have a cloud over my head! My plants were very happy!

    We had rain yesterday in the am and more again today! I'm doing the happy rain dance.

    Yay! It's my turn for a little rain. I sure need it.

    This morning it rained pretty good in Ormond Beach just before lunch time. We didn't get any at all at home in Palm Coast. Could sure use it up here.

    Got about an inch and a half here! The yard is singing and dancing!
    Most came this morning, then again a nice steady rain this evening.
    Seems this "wave" is just teasing the coasts.
    Not much rain in the middle of the state.
    I'm thankful though.

    Marion, looked like you were swamped around noon. 2" in 1 hour! That's wild.

    They told us 70% and we got big, beautiful, dark clouds, fat with rain. And the stingy gits kept every drop.

    I live in Jacksonville and for a long, long time, I have said that I live in the rain donut. Last year, I captured a picture of the rain donut on radar - check out Jacksonville. That, my friend, is the rain donut. :)

    Sigh...nuthin
    I am worried, however, about the fires in Capr Coral. The are getting crispy over there from lightening strikes. Cwazy weather, silly wabit!

    Not a drop here. Guess I will keep dragging my hose.
    Is hose dragging considered exercise? It sure feels like it.

    Its pouring here in north Ft.Laud...its been raining all day!
    Last week it rained for nearly 4 solid days. We got spoiled ...the grass finally grew...then it wilted...now it is back to green again and needs a cut bad! With only 1 day a week to be allowed to water..this came at the right time!

    Starting raining at 3:15 PM. So slow it took 20 minutes to cover my 2-foot benchmark of concrete. Continued this til 3:50 and then the sun came out. Nothing more on radar seems to be heading my way. Considering opening a theme park DesertLand. Camel rides, tour of Ali Baba's cave, with authentic desert natives - my neighbors.

    YAY!!!!!!! It's at my house for the last 2 1/2 hours of nice steady downporing. Bring it on Mother Nature!! We also had a tornado warning! Just up in Buckingham, East Fort Myers one was sighted. Not too far from us...now we are getting some steady sprinkles that may driz thru the night. Thank you God!
