We got ready for the 4 inches or more of rain we are supposed to get yesterday. Got the barn all ready to put all the animals in. It's supposed to rain for 3 days
Ok, and here I am going to say something bad: the photo of the damaged houses in Florida: if you live that close to the ocean you are a: most likely really well off, and b: have massive amounts of insurance. As long as it is just buildings you should expect it in Florida and be prepared for it. We lived in Orlando during hurricane Charley ( and others) and the eye went right over us with 120+ mph wind. We only had minor damage since our house was built in a way that keeps storms from ripping the roof off. The tree in the backyard that fell went the other direction but our neighborhood and others had a huge amount of damage and it was a miserable 2-3 weeks without power. That's when I decided I really hated Florida even more than I already did at the time
