Even more rain for florida

You know I love it when i am right about the weather. Yesterday I was watching the satellite of the gulf and i said to myself, that's gonna be something and when i woke up this morning and turned on the news the weather chick was calling it a non tropical low and NOAA has it marked as an invest. Of course its not gonna be more then it is because of land right in its path but its nice to know i still have my instincts. I got a text from dewdrop this morning telling me how lucky i am. I replied Hee Hee i know. Such weather geeks we are.
Her is a recent satellite picture./



Invest 94 got its act up a little last night, enough for then to send an air force reserve hurricane hunter aircraft into it. Not a threat they said yesterday, I knew it was one to keep an eye on as a matter of fact i will be keeping on on it until it is no more.
I am going to try to get to the coast today to see if there is any action aka water spouts. Right now here in pasco we have a complete grey coverage and there is no wind movement at all. We got a large amount rain last night and we are close to 8 inches from Saturday. That's a lot rain folks. I am also gonna try to get out and take pictures of are over flowing rain reservoirs. Cross your fingers for me i am with out a car right now so things are not as easy as they once were.
Ta Tafor now...

Lots of rain for pasco Florida

Sunday morning delivered heavy rainfall to Pasco County. Showers developed at 10:45 pm Saturday night and began dumping showers into southwestern Pasco County. They began reporting the potential flooding problems at 11:00 pm for our area. Some of the heavy rain spread into northern and central Pinellas County Sunday morning.

Many of weather spotters reported as much as 7 inches of rain across Pasco County. Residents in Largo, Seminole and Clearwater reported as much as 2-3 inches of rainfall.

Here are some totals from the Saturday/Sunday storms.

New Port Richey 6.06"
Port Richey 6.50"
Hudson 2.81"
Palm Harbor 2,67"
Largo 3,92

The rainfall was so heavy that many roads and neighborhoods could not handle that much rain in such a short period of time. These types of rain events can often be more destructive than a tropical storm or even a small hurricane.
It rained yesterday morning and this morning we awoke to even more rain. I took this picture at 645am
It looks like tonight and tomorrow morning has great potential for more rain.






Tropical Storm Bertha is out over the open Atlantic Ocean after battering Bermuda and indirectly causing one U.S. death.
The storm knocked out electricity to thousands of customers on the British tourist island.
Bermuda's weather service canceled a hurricane watch for the island late yesterday but a tropical storm watch remains in effect. There have been no reports of injuries.
Ron Smith is a carpenter who moved to Bermuda about a year ago from the English city of Stoke-on-Trent. He describes the broad storm's passage as “harrowing.”
The storm has whipped up dangerous rip currents along the U.S. East Coast from the Carolinas through southern New England. That's contributed to at least one drowning off a New Jersey beach.

Bertha is expected to re-strengthen into a hurricane today. Maximum sustained winds are currently 70-miles-per-hour.



Invest 94 is weakening and they are no longer considering it a threat.

I how ever will still be keeping an eye on it!
Ta Ta for now..
