Got it, thank you for the explanation. Yikes we were in Hernando, FL a few years ago when I believe squalls came through, and a nearby town got hit with a rogue tornado, scattering a bunch of small airplanes and other things. I remember it was April 1st... Maybe 2010, 2011?

We had visited you, then went up to visit my in-laws. They had to close the Sunshine Skyway Bridge then as well.

I remember freaking out watching the local weather coverage on TV... They kept talking about hurricane and tornado "watch boxes", and this county and that county. I had no idea where or what each county was, lol. Scary stuff. For me anyway... I'm not used to these type of storms.

I hope everyone in Florida stays safe!

Florida weather can be scary at times when you aren't used to it. As the old saying goes, if you don't like Florida weather, wait fifteen minutes and it will change.

Fortunately, we are getting occasional breaks in the rain, allowing brief relief opportunities for the dogs. We've topped 5" of rain thus far in our coastal location. Rain guage shows 3" in the past several hours, added to 2.3" by 0700 today.
