Last night we got 4 inches of rain! It was an amazing storm… woke me up a couple of times. An EF-1 tornado touched down about 10 miles south of us but it only did a little damage (a couple of overturned cars and a flimsy structure destroyed at the county jail). The water was running so hard it washed our neighbor’s phone book into the middle of the road in front of our house. It made for a nice walk this morning, with everything all washed and clean. We really needed the rain, it had been months.

My colleague up in Canada has been having quite the winter. She lives waaaay up there, though, where I suppose you would expect such conditions. After seeing her pics, I’m glad to be in Florida! As my dad says, “You don’t have to shovel sunshine!”
