And the rains came! We just returned from Kendall after speaking in church and got into a heavy down pour. When we got out of the car, we thought there was a plane flying over, but it was "rolling thunder". We made it into the condo and the skies opened up and it is raining straight down and we have two inches to go before the water is on the little porch we have out the sliding door. At this rate, we may have to put down towels to keep it out of the sliding door. I've never seen rain like this before. The drops on the car were at least two inches wide. It almost sounded like hail was falling on the car. The good news is, that the everglade fire is out! So those towns off Chrome Ave can rest a little easier. The Indian Reservation is claiming that their "rain dance" did the trick. Maybe so. Their village is out of danger now.
NEWS FLASH! We did have hail stones! It is still raining, but not as hard, and the drains around the condo are taking the water off to the canal. So we are breathing a little easier. They expect the rain to last all night.
