Raining Buckets in SoWal and Emerald Coast

We're getting so much rain, even the Weather Channel is talking about the deluge along the Emerald Coast this Monday, Sept. 14, 2009. Rain started this morning and has kept up a pretty good pace through 1 p.m. CST. Ours seems to be coming from the south and moving west to east. Our Texas buddies are getting hit also, but their's appears to be more east to west in the Fort Worth/Dallas area. Coastal Dune Lakes are filling up. Concerned about areas and roads that are prone to flooding. I've shut computer down from time to time as particularly bad cells pass through.

I am so tired of getting rained on every time I go to/from work, running errands, etc., here in GA. I have started wearing Croc flip-flops to not ruin my good shoes and not slip and fall. Even a golf umbrella doesn't protect me from the sideways rain. I am tired of wet clothes and frizzy hair.

Apparently a renter must have left a door unsecured at the beach house (despite all of my instructional P-Touch messages on the doors), so we have some issues there.

And the 10-day forecast is for more rain. ARGH!

SWGB I'd just like to confirm that you did indeed have contact with FEMA and that they will meet me at the dock for emergency coffee accessories soon? Please, please no more rain!

Thundering again here on the county line. The rain and warm temperatures when it's not raining seem more July than September.

Unfortunately a natural opening of Eastern Lake will not be possible as your tax dollars are opening the lake with a back hoe as we speak. :bang::bang:

Looks like the next round is coming in. I did enjoy that brief bout of sunshine. I've pulled out my XtraTuff boots from Alaska again, impervious to puddles and the snakes that are trying to escape!

I agree- it has been hot and soupy- this humidity is awful. It was hard to breather at the cross country meet on Saturday in P'cola- and I wasn't even running! I think the high humidity contributed to the larger than normal number of pukers.:shock: Kate and her friend were almost hit!

Hubby just called from Destin and said the wind picked up really quick probably 60-70 mph for a couple of minutes. He thinks it was possibly a water spout. Be careful out there my friends. :wave:

Gonna be rainy and windy most of the morning. Most places picked up 3/4" - 1 1/2" of rain overnight.
