Haha, just noticed it as I was checking my forecast last night. Looks like much of Florida has already had an personal encounter with the storm. Did it hit you there? I saw that the orbiting Shuttle was not allowed to land yesterday - maybe today, but maybe in Calf...?

The large extratropical storm that has been pounding Florida and the Bahamas this week with heavy rain and high surf extended its reach yesterday, killing at least 11 people in Haiti. According to Reuters, most of the victims were killed while crossing rivers or when their flimsy homes collapsed. Approximately six inches of rain fell on Haiti's southwest peninsula in the 24 hours ending at 8pm EDT. Hundreds of homes were flooded and dozens destroyed in the flooding, which left 40% of the southern city of Cayes underwater. The impoverished Caribbean country is still struggling to recover from the massive flooding that killed over 800 people during the hurricane season of 2008. In March, UN chief Ban Ki-moon and Bill Clinton--who was this week appointed UN special envoy to the island--toured Haiti together and urged the international community to continue to aid the country. Participants at a Washington international donors conference in April agreed to donate $324 million to help Haiti rebuild.

The worst of the rain and flooding is over for Florida, which has seen rainfall amounts this week as high as 23.75 inches at the Flagler County Fairgrounds. Another 1 - 2 inches are expected in Northeast Florida today from the storm, along with beach erosion, 6 - 8 foot waves, and tides 1 - 2 feet above normal. The bad weather in Northeast Florida should subside substantially on Saturday.

The storm responsible for the heavy rains is now headed north-northwest, and should make landfall Saturday near the Louisiana/Mississippi border. The storm has developed a warm core at low levels, and NHC designated it Invest 90L late this morning. Latest visible satellite loops show a modest amount of heavy thunderstorm activity on the east side of the storm's circulation, but development is being hindered by dry air, and wind shear of 20 knots. Long range radar out of New Orleans (Figure 1) shows little organization or banding of the radar echoes. With only 24 hours to go until the system moves inland, it does not have enough time to develop into a depression. Since there will be strong winds from the west creating wind shear over the storm, plus dry air to the storm's west, most of the heavy rain should be confined to the east of the storm's center, along a stretch of coast from New Orleans to Pensacola. Rainfall totals of 2 - 4 inches can be expected.

It's a rain storm-nada-zip-nothing

They don't even have the guys with yellow slickers and mikes out for it

TY Dennis for pointing out the blatant lies published by Dr Masters. Wow, with his track record, who would have thot? Must have gone turned onto drugs.

Someone tell NASA that the Shuttle can land after all. Dennis said it's no big deal.

Oh, and call the insurance department about all of the fraudulent claims...

BTW, it almost became the first named storm of the season last night. Either way, flooding is the #1 risk of hurricanes or this one, so your zip seems to have something.

:silly:

I went to Destin yesterday in hopes of being able to make even a dive in the bay or even a swimming pool! but no such luck. pretty much rained and wind all day and today too thunder and lighting was enough to keep me out of the pool. Now home, 90 miles North of Destin and raining heavy here. but no watches or warnings here tonight

Holy Smokes it ALMOST became the first named storm of the season. There will be many more, that wll become named storms this season. It happens every year.

The rainy season starts in the middle of May down here, it was a rain storm.

NEWS FLASH-It's thundering and raining like crazy right now, these are parts of the same rain storms that postponed the shuttle today, the radar show them coming in off the ocean because of the lowered jet stream. 90 is far away from Canaveral and has nothing to do with not being able to land the shuttle today. It frequently gets postponed because of Florida weather
