From having our normal afternoon rain showers (usually dump and inch or two) for the past month, the ground is saturated with water, and its not like we dont have the proper drainage setup for a lot of rain fall.. We have many many canals, and ditches everywhere to move the water around.. They're just full

Filled over the top, and this canal was probably 20 feet deep and 50 feet wide.

Theres a big canal, probably 75 feet deep and 100-150 feet wide, and its full

It's been raining on and off all day and most of last night, here in Alachua. Normally our back yard will flood, but not the front, but it hasn't been too bad today.

I hope TS Fay is just a warm up storm :D


We got flooded down here too, a lot of trees down which surprised me due to it only being a tropical storm. Think the highest wind gust in Naples was 69mph.

I love storms!

Been raining all day here in Gainesville, just had to help our neighbor get a huge tree out of his driveway...the tree blew out of the ground (no serious winds though) from our yard and into his driveway, I think the water finally uprooted the bitch.
