Big storm over Buttonwood

[Boudicca]

wow, this was a real gulley washer. We drove into this on our way home from Sumter. Doggies were VERY glad to see us :)

[Sable99]

WOW! I'm in Michigan so please keep us posted!

[njbchbum]

[YouNeverKnow]

Wow, that looks very scary! I am in Michigan also like Sable99 and am hoping everyone is safe down there! What is the update on the storm??

It is out of the immediate area. Dog burrowed into his sleeping bag all by himself while I was returning books/DVDs to a local library.

It was pretty much just very, very heavy rain. My wife and I were playing pool over at La Hacienda and I heard the rain on the roof. I went out to lower the side curtains on the golf cart which we had left up. I got drenched and we drove home through some puddles that were 8 inches deep.

GREAT PICTURES!!! For those of you not here, it went through fairly quickly, though probably not quick enough for the puppies, and all is well. Got the rain here in Caroline and could see the very dark clouds over the Buttonwood area.

Compared to last summer, this one has been pretty wet....that's not a bad thing.... ;)

I assume when I return to Buttonwood in October my grass should look green.

Was at Lake Sumter when it hit - awesome storm. Watched a gator go under 'cause it got so rough on the lake.

The fire station at Buena Vista & Bonita recorded .8 inches of rain.

It was a heavy rain...took awhile to get here. I went to Colony on an errand--it was black to the south and VERY black to the south, coming home! We got 1/2" near Odell Rec Center.

It will be so green, you'll think you're in Ireland, Tom! :D

Ponds will be full when we return in September. I guess I had better put in for a couple more dozen golf balls for my birthday! Fore!

Wind-driven rain, heavy, lasted about 45 minutes, but it was the 2nd shower of the day. Rain gauge had 1-3/4 inches for the day here in Buttonwood. It looked like it added a couple inches to our pool.

And another 3/8 inch this afternoon.
