Damn that's crazy. I've been saying I want to kayak.. maybe now's a good time to invest in one? ;P

[Phatmiata]

Glad I live in the higher elevation! 120ft above sea level has it's benefits! Meanwhile Tampa and St Pete areas are still underwater. Lol. Some folks have been without power since 4:30

Every other Facebook post was someone showing flood damage.

[The Platypus]

Damn. That sucks. Did you take that picture? Are you pretty close to where the storm hit?

[Mia95]

Hm.. Glad I was in the Keys for the weekend? haha

[Agent☣Orange]

Whoa! I didn't know it was that bad up there.

[Phatmiata]

That was high tide plus storm rain, LOL

Im 25 miles east up in higher ground, so im not getting flooded, just folks in Tampa area.

[Phatmiata]

Yeah has been moving at a whooping 2mph since Friday LOL

[The Driver]

It's gonna be freacking 103 with 30% humidity here in COwTown today, how about y'all send some of that BEAUTIFUL rain over here?


Bayshore getting flooded is nothing new, heck it happens almost once a year, but Belcher and Alt. 19? UNBELIEVABLE!

[Phatmiata]

Yes and we are EARLY in the year for our 4th named storm! That usually doesnt happen until August!


103 Degrees in your area? :wtf:

[I<3flippyheadlights]

The normal spots were flooded in Tampa. Westshore blvd, Henderson and dale Mabry, etc. When I was driving the hotel van this morning at 5 o clock, it was a boat!

[blenderblast]

dale mabry? I work near dale mabry and waters (no pun intended), it didn't flood that area did it?

i would not want to come down an escalator only to be greeted by a couple of sharks.

It's all good, the sharks ha to duke it out with a few gators and loose anacondas. It was NOT pretty...

My mother and grandmother live in Lady Lake. So far they are okay, just wet.

[kung fu jesus]

My sister is in Clermont. She said they needed the rain.

[The Driver]

My sister is in Clermont. She said they needed the rain.

Correct, they were quickly approaching drought conditions. Now they are "Atlantis II". Welcome to FL...

[Phatmiata]

My sister is in Clermont. She said they needed the rain.

Clermont, FL is an easy 200+ ft above sea level, lots of hills out there, doubt they would ever have "flooding" in that area.

[JonnyD]

In sarasota the bayfront was underwater us 41 was impassable due to all the storm water and high tide. I can't wait for the rain to stop.

[friday]

103 Degrees in your area? :wtf:


Could have something to do with the mild winter. The Atlantic warmed up much quicker this year.

I agree with you, those weather people don't know what they are talking about

They never have. ;)

[kung fu jesus]

I was thinking the same thing when the storms started firing up early this season. I was thinking the majority of the storms are gonna track up the seaboard, la nina/el nino shift, looking at SSTs and such. Meteorology is interesting stuff. I love the pics from the hurricane hunter missions.

[mini_fd]

Tropical Storm Debbie wont stop me from taking pictures in the rain...
