August 22nd: One would think that the topical storm was still in our area, last night she made her way across the top of the Sunshine State, then she had spinning "Feeder Bands" of rain and wind visit the area that she didn't visit on her own. After a whole week we are all growing tired of the affects of visit to Florida, the only good thing was that there wasn't any lightning with the rain she left on all of us. Now the panhandle of Florida will get it's dousing of precipitation. I bet it ends up being more than a foot of rain all over the state before she is done. Let's hope we dry out a bit this weekend, I know it won't spot the" Die Hards" that Cruise on Friday and Saturday Nites at Old Town.
