Man, I wish we’d have some rain. I can’t plan anything outdoors with any confidence due to predictions, but real rain never comes.

Instead, I’m out reading on the deck, and big raindrops start to plop down, and I move the fan, put the cushions away, grab my book, drink, and phone, and go inside, and 90 seconds later, it’s done.

Rain or don’t rain, whichever, but stop flirting!!

There's thunder and it's dark. I almost feel like I am in SW FLA with the cycle of daily afternoon rainstorms. Just no beaches and less old folks.

I swear that storm we had that morning in cedar key looked like a hurricane. Drenching rain, big wind, my buddy swore we were in a tornado. Less than an hour later, not a cloud in the sky

Did they anchor you down so you didn't blow away?

Just thunder and a gentle summer rain so far. Looks like it broke up. May have been a bad cell over towards Lafayette. The way the weather people were jumping in on Wimbledon coverage I thought some real SHTF was going down.

Got caught in a hailstorm, scampering from Ingles to my car in a phenomenal downburst. (marble-sized hail, which was plenty big; trying to keep it real)

Then driving back on Smokey Park Hwy/ Patton Ave (US 74, for those in the know), it was emergency blinkers on (and automatic headlights), wipers on high, defogger on full blast, still couldn’t really see; everyone driving in left lane only both directions b/c right lanes were underwater; whenever the roadbed dipped, we went through single file at 10 mph throwing up giant rooster tails; the car is now really clean!

Summer in the south!

PS: people who drive silver/ light grey cars in torrential downpours, and no headlights on; smh, y’all.

“C’mon, hit me, I dare ya!”
