Hope ya got your life preserver snug and tight.
 
Yeah, and when the rain makes its way further north, we expect up to 12" of the white fluffy stuff. :madder:
 
Well, everything's flooding around here!
 
Not to worry, Doc's got his inflatable flip flops on.
 
The bulk of it was well south of us, not much sunshine here but not much rain either. Drove down to Apollo Beach this AM, back by 1030. Wet roads with drizzle, that was about it.
 
NOAA's big-arse P-3 just came in over th' hovel. Musta been out chasin' th' storm, data gatherin'. Same engines as a Herc, Coasties usually do their 130 crash-n-dash at th' airbase so I thought it was them 'til I looked up.

Earlier heard "unusual" jet engines, had a C-17 go over at about 1K altitude and it looked HUGE. We have a KC-135 bunch here so I know what they sound like, this thing was more C-5 like in sound.
 
Those C-17 are loud. Try to play golf in and around Fort Lewis.Yikes

Doc: My dad spent some of his navy time in WWII standing sub guard on Egmont Key.
 
those sneaky Nazi bastages!
 
Their patrol boat was a privately owned boat, painted gray over the mahogany. The depth charges had to be rolled over the stern by hand, and they couldn't make enough knots to get away from the blast, so it would have been one and done if they ever found a sub.
