We have been getting winds of 30 and above for the past 2 days, a lot of rain yesterday all over Central Florida but mostly along the coast today (me). We had a class tonight at work for physicians only and we were providing them with dinner prior to the class. So this morning I had to go to Walmart to pick up 4 of their pre-sliced cheesecakes on my way to work. The sun was shinning as I went into the store and still shinning when I came out, except there was 1 small black cloud off to the east. I got halfway across the parking lot, that cloud was over me and it opened up and the bottom fell out. I got soaked and by the time I got to work I was cold to the bone. I wasn't able to go home to change but one of the other ladies had a denim shirt so I was able to change out of my wet blouse and put the shirt on. By the time I got changed someone made a big, hot cup of coffee so I could start warming up. I may have started my day under a "cloud" but it ended up surrounding me in warmth and love. I pray you stay safe and dry tomorrow.

We are getting lots of rain here now - which we really, really need - but I feel sorry for Rahab :(

I made it thru the day with one dry spot left, not saying where it was. :lol:
The rain was coming down almost sideways. My ears were full of water, rain was blowing in the air vents in my rain helmet and rolling down my face. Sure was glad I took a towel to dry off after the shower I got today. And not one piece of the mail I delivered got wet. And if you believe that..... :lol: :lol: :lol:

Saw the pictures on the news about the flooding in Norfolk...I remember being trapped in a parking lot there several years ago for almost two hours waiting for the water to go down enough for me to drive on the streets.

Hope tomorrow is better for you Rahab!
