TS Debby


Here in Northern Florida we are experiencing
our second Tropical Storm of the 2012 season.
The above picture is what the "Creek" looks like right now.
The picture below is what the "Creek" looks like on a normal day.
(Notice how the boathouse is underwater in the above picture.)

The Creek is going to be at record levels, and we still have
at least two more days of TS Debby to deal with.
She hasn't even come ashore yet.
Oh the joy!

Many people have been put out of their homes because of
the level of the Creek.
We have not.

Such a beautiful day on the Creek.

The 2012 Hurricane Season has had 4 named storms in June.
This is unprecedented.
It has never happened since they've kept records on Hurricanes.
We've had two of them go "over" us.
Beryl came in from the Atlantic at the very tail end of May (which was also
an unheard of event), and now Debby is coming in from the Gulf of Mexico
near Cedar Key, FL tomorrow.
We got 10"+ of rain from Beryl and we are already above that level now with
Debby and there is still more to come.
Debby is a weak TS but a BIG rainmaker and she is stationary. Last night
she was moving at 2mph.
I hope this is not a precursor to how the rest of Hurricane season is going to go.
All I can say is:
"quack quack"

  1. We hope you all stay safe from Debby. It seems that abnormal rainfall is happening all over this year. We have already grown webbed feet.

  2. We have been following some about Debby on the news. We sure hope the rain is not problematic for your house. And that somehow the record of TS's for June is a fluke and doesn't foretell an extra big hurricane season. Purrs and try to stay dry.

  9. wow, that before and after is impressive! I so hope you are high enough up that you can handle two more days of Debby..

    Btw, you should invite Debby to visit Maine, we know what to do with Tropical Storms.. they hit our cold waters and just lose all their muster.

  13. We are hoping Debby moves along fast! We lived south of you in Bonita Springs for 10 years - we saw Andrew come thru and numerous rainmakers that flooded our town. We were 2 blocks from the Imperial River but in our old part of town we never got flooded out - the old timers knew where to settle! We still have hurricanes in NC even in the mts! In 04 we got 22 inches of rain and 18 the next week from 2 storms, Hope you guys are OK this year!!!
