Default Raining in The Villages

Quite the deluge tonight in Sanibel. 2.40" in the last 60 minutes - and it's still coming down.

I'm trying to push the 1" puddles off my lanai, while carefully observing the water restrictions that were extended until October

Shouldn't you be retaining some of that water for future use?

Lots of rain, thunder & lightning in Tamarind Grove. Husband and dainty dog sitting in garage enjoying the storm (at least until the wind changed ) Myself inside watching a baseball game with other dog (the big galunk one) trying to crawl into my lap. Wuss!

I love the rain, thunder, and lightning.

Yep, The Southwest Florida Water Management District never lifts water restrictions once they put them in place.

One of my favorite things, a wonderful deluge of warm rain (as long as the lightning doesn't do any harm).
