Debbie Did Florida

TS Debbie definitely had an impact on Florida.  Both good and bad.  The flooding continues inland.  The ground is so saturated that it will take awhile to drain.  But, look at these!

On May 22, we were in the powerful grip of a very severe drought over 2/3 of the state -- and the "Sunshine State" was suffering.  Wildfires were a occurring and we had "red flag" conditions.

Then we had a little rain from a cool front and things looked a little better.


Our summer thunder storms kicked in and:

Things were looking a lot better and we were optimistic of getting out of the drought during July and August -- our rainiest months -- before the dry season rolled around again in mid-September.

And then Debbie arrived last weekend and brought us this:


Just a few counties with some drought now and, hopefully, summer storms will take care of their issues.  And, also hopefully, the people who have been displaced by the flooding will be able to return home and return to normal.  These storms are needed.  We just wish they brought rain in moderation.
