I live in the area of highest rainfall so far...fifteen inches as of 10:00pm according to Grlevel3 storm totals...at one point, six inches per hour.
This looks like it will top Irene in'99, at least where I'm situated.
My property is next to the C-100B canal...when things calm down a bit more, I'll go out back to check the water level in the canal. The water is about 2 1/2 feet deep in front of the house...luckily I'm on top of a sizable mound of fill.
I went out to check earlier, and just dodged a piece of TV antennae which had just come off the roof. It was luck, really, because I didn't see it coming.
The rain event is going to verify, I think. But all day long, the media downplayed the winds, saying "rain event, just a rain event". I just hope people were off the highways when these bands clobbered south Dade. Much more wind than was expected for the south side.
This was much more than most people were expecting. Never take ANY hurricane lightly.
