Key Largo, about mm 100 -- for those who know the mile markers.
We had about 20 minutes of downpour, now steady lighter rain. Thunder remaining distant. Looks like we could get into a long train, depending on the track of the rest of that convection to the south.

The marine warning for oceanside of Key Largo (Florida Strait) looks to have expired.

Seems last season started with welcome June rain from passing systems. It's been a few years of very dry springs (that's the climate though) and the environment needs the tropical systems that don't impact us directly.

We need the rain. Unfortunately, many people are not ready to face heavy downpours.

Hurakan,

2 weeks ago, on Memorial Day, we had some serious downpours...Trees were blown down along the main roads out here. My 9 year old hid under his blanket in the "safety room". He's still not over Frances, Jeanne, and of course that one that really surprised us, Wilma :roll:

Wow...hopefully some of those squalls will make their way up here. Looks like the Keys saw a few strong ones.

We just had a huge downpour here in Naples. I went into a store and the sky looked fine. When I started to leave, it was coming down in buckets. Much needed rain but I got soaked as the umbrella was in the car-right where it belongs! :D

We had a second deluge in SW FL about an hour ago complete with power flickers. Now it's time to reset all the clocks, phones, etc. (or should I just wait until the end of hurricane season? LOL)

Is it me or is Florida the ultimate hurricane magnet. I remember last year the Florida Keys also felt the first impacts of any tropical activity with Arlene.

Buoys off the FL Keys are seeing wind gusts to 35mph in some of the squalls. Stay safe fellow Floridians - we'll get through this season :D
