A little bit of rain in West Florida
If you are planning on coming to the West Coast of Florida, you might want to delay it a few days.
We have had 9" of rain in the last 24 hours at our house and there is some localized flooding. It is still raining right now and more is expected tomorrow. In our area the winds never got too bad but there were some reported gusts over 50 mph.
The lake behind my house is about 18" above our seawall but we are so high this is not a big deal. It just gives more area for the fish, turtles, and alligators to swim. :B
Just be sure to call ahead to your destination and make sure that the roads are passable. Good luck to all that may be stuck in this weather.

With the ground saturated like it is, and with more rain on the way, I would not park close to any large trees. This is when they are most likely to blow over.
