Could you please redirect some of these afternoon storms over to Central Texas? Thank you in advance! |

I’m not in central Florida but I’ll happily give you a rain day every month or so. As long as you take all the ‘skeeters too. |

Sorry. My lake is so low I can't use my boat ramp without subjecting my trailer tires to the jagged rip rap at the bottom of it. Praying for 4 or 5 feet of torrential rains during this winter' s super El Niño. On the positive side the canal between my lake and the 550 site RV lake resort they stay at is dry so the hordes of jet ski clowns can't fuk up our lake. Sorry again. |

I'm near Tampa, and we are still in an extreme drought. Every damn afternoon the radar shows rain. It all splits and goes around us, it's like we are in a damn bubble. They just extended our once-a-week watering restrictions to next March. |
I see what you did.

Highlands checking in. It's been good recently, but we still need more. I get a daily alert (literally) for lighting. It makes me happy. Eta... Attached File For weeks straight. |

It means the swamps are only up to my knees and I get to keep my balls dry…until the sweat drips down that way at least.  Maybe if we all aim our box fans to the west we can blow some of it across the gulf for the OP. |

I’m responsible for .78” of that glorious wet stuff in Van Zandt county on Monday. I washed my wife’s car that morning. Put the pressure water away, turned around and saw a bolt of lightning, heard the thunder a second later. Said screw drying her car off in the driveway, so I pulled it into the garage and the rain started. As good as a rain dance. |

I cannot remember the last time I washed my car and didn’t have rain within the hour! |
| I'm not certain how the map says SW Fl is in a draught. I've had standing water in the woods next to me for almost 6 months now, rain every other day, pond is overflowing, ground is so wet it cant be mowed without sinking. Trying to get some dirt brought in but it'll do more damage than it fixes trying to get it spread with equipment. |

I’m a little north of you in Sorrento, at the 44 split. |

Spring really was a kick in the nuts with being dry and no rain. |
| Central Florida here: Rains small amounts here and there most days.. But we are in "Southwest Florida Water Management District (SWFWMD) has extended its Modified Phase III "Extreme" Water Shortage Order till March 31, 2027.... So were not going to be able send any water to Texas it seems.... |
| Lake Okeechobee was under 5’ last I checked. It’s usually at 8’ or more this time of year. Most people don’t understand that the lakes are the source of water for crops that get us through the dry season (which starts in about a month). It is going to be a really tough winter on anybody that farms (like me) |
