Well, it wasn't that bad in my neighborhood but alligators have a mind of their own and will walk wherever they please. The flood waters just made it easier for them. I wouldn't call it an invasion but there has been an uptick in gator and snake sightings. Down here it is always a good thing to assume that gators are in any dark water body (can't see through the water.) They are ambush hunters.

The first vimeo I had seen didn't quite make things look that bad. Over here in Vancouver, BC I've been hearing on the news that there's been an invasion of alagators on the streets!

It's looking awful. Now, I am north of Orlando and they just said that my area has seen a foot of rain *today* and Orlando is around the 7 inches of rain today. And seriously, they just warned us that another squall is headed this way with gusts up to 45 mph.

Soooooooo ready for this to be done.

I hate the thought of my beautiful, lovely Orlando being pelted by constant heavy showers. How's it looking now?

It's still not raining here in sunny California. No earthquakes, either :-P

I was so focused on the deluge I didn't respond to your fall like weather.

SO ... jealous.

It started raining a little harder when I headed out to the gym. By the time I got to my third machine I looked outside and it was blowing wind horizontal non-stop. And, it's about an hour and half later and it hasn't stopped. I ran by the store for some misc. things ... and an umbrella :) and hit some really unexpected deep water on one of the side roads.

Orange hospital just reported that their first floor just flooded and a huge sink hole is opening up about four or five miles north of me.

Fay isn't boring any more.

That is a really good idea. Right before I left for the gym I counted three pretty good thumps of small tree limbs falling on my roof. I saw one actually bounce off into the yard.

It's gotten a lot worse over the past couple of hours.

LOVE a lot of rain and really enjoyed your video. Some people pay a lot of money to see waterfalls. You are very blessed:)

Has there been flooding?

The season has begun to turn here. Leaves are changing colour and the air has that Fall bite to it. :::sigh::: :::stuffing cold feet into a very thick blanket::: Where's my book?

Randy, you own a single family home don't you? I am assuming this based on the stories you've shared. When all the rain is over have a professional roofer::: you trust::: to check out your roof! You'd be amazed what constant wind and rain can do. It might save you $ in the long run. That's way too much rain, for me. I think being forced to listen to that for any extended period of time would cause me bounce off the walls! : ) Too bad we haven't the technology to pump all of that water up here!
