A tropical storm is usually cause for great concern, since you can expect torrential rains, flooding, wind damage and tornadoes. But in this case the benefits (heavy rain BADLY needed in draught ravage Florida) outweighs the risks.
It has pretty much rained non-stop since 1 PM yesterday. Right now we are in between feeder bands. A feeder band is one of the bands reaching out from a storm, and when it moves in its clock-wise motion these feeder bands reach out light tentacles on an octopus. Meaning that in even the most intense storm you can get short periods of calm and no rain. (This is usually when you take your dog out for a walk).
I am not expecting any problems from this storm, just rain, rain and more rain! Yay!

Ok, dela med er lite av allt regn nu, ok? Vi behöver ju massor med regn här!! Var ute och vattnade mina pumpor för det såg för torrt ut...hur ska det annars kunna bli pumpor för ungarna till Halloween??
We are very prepared: we have a new roof, hurricane shutters and supplies. We also have a plan what to do if a storm stronger than cat 3 is heading our way. I am always surprised when they interview people, very few have done much to prepare at all! Our area is overdue for a major hit, nothing to lay around with...
