I feel for them. Some friends along the Trinity River in Texas have already had one major flood this year. for some reason most of the rain showers seem to be gong both north around Sarasota and south of me so I've only got near 4 inches so far.
Fortunately for me I am on higher ground than a lot of Florida so we haven't had any problem with storm surge during hurricanes and none with flooding as it tends to run quickly down into the Peace River and out through Charlotte Harbor to the Gulf. Also helps having sandy soil. I think downtown had about 16" during one tropical storm as they left a marker on the wall in the Celtic Ray from it. The only one so far. Charley, Irma and Ian didn't cause a problem with flooding like they got in Ft Myers and Sarasota.
I sincerely hope that any hurricane this year remains a fish storm.
Me too 🌺
