Cleo, the weather all over has been more than a little wild... our usually warm building to summer month of May has turned into a endless rains, more than 2 weeks now without let up. Just south of the city they got between 100 and 175mm of rain yesteday, which lead to flooding in those areas as they rivers were already up from this endless rain (for those who wonder, that would be 6 inches of rain). Much of the New England area has been flooded and flooded again... a weather pattern rarely seen in over 100 years has really done the whole north east in pretty hard.
It all plays into my personal theory of "global warming" that seems to escape most of the experts (probably because I am wrong, but heck, it makes me feel better). Global warming is just earth's natural way to put more water down to grow more plants to get rid of the CO2 and rebalance the system. The more we cut stuff down and create pollution, the more the earth will fight and try to grow green stuff back and water it as needed.
So yeah, even by my wonky thinking, Florida is in for a few more years of seriously strong storms... the good thing being that each year that you have string storms, the weakest stuff gets taken away, which should mean less damage and less debris flying around breaking stuff.
