So it looks like the BB is going to get a lot of freshwater

Looking like the Big Bend is going to be centered up pretty well, appears it will be a rain only event with minimal winds once past the immediate coast but all those big trees we love may topple if we get the East/South side where all the rain is predicted to be. Lots of freshwater going to get dumped into the gulf again... hope we're not getting set up for a year like 2012 again. Stay safe out there!

It's been non stop all day... I'm sure the scallops are not happy.

Me too! Even diluted salt water is better than work.

Not as bad as it could have been, I saw some pics of minor street flooding over at Steinhatchee but seems most of the really heavy rain went more around the central part of the state. My watermelons and corn appreciated the 2 1/2" they got so looks like it ended well for the most part. Not sure the scallops will even be bothered :thumbup:
