Jelly,
We live in south Pinellas, almost to the Skyway.
I can hear those thunderstorms you were talking about, they must be heading our way.
I always know there's a storm coming because our dog gets nervous and parks herself at my feet, (normally) she'd be with my husband, but during a thunderstorm I'm the one she seeks out.
We've had rain almost every day, but it's been light. Today we didn't and our teenager wasn't happy because it meant he didn't have an excuse not to mow the lawn.
This storm is still going through our area ... it's a big soaker. Nice relief from today's mugginess. Heat index hit 97 degrees this afternoon. Ugh.
