Gene Riffe [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] Saint Petersburg, Florida   Posted by Starfire  -  08/17/2008 03:35 PM We'll take it! With only 2-1/2 inches of rain since mid March we'd be happy to see some major thunderstorms from a small hurricane or tropical storm.

Johnson [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] Conroe, Texas   Posted by amswuod1  -  08/17/2008 09:47 PM Spent twenty years in Florida, and that's one thing I sure don't miss.

[ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] Union, Kentucky Charter Member since July 2006   Posted by Starfire  -  08/18/2008 12:21 AM With five of the eight computer models indicating a storm track headed to the Florida Panhandle and even as far West as Mobile it looks like the Western Florida coast will be spared a direct hit. Destin and Pensacola might be in for a rough time of it.
