Seriously, though, there’s a silver lining here because we’ve had increasing wildfires lately and need the moisture. Last week when we did our TJ’s grocery trip, Sarasota was blanketed in heavy smoke because there was a big fire in Sebring, which I think is center state from us. I keep seeing weather alerts that we have 9 major fires going right now, so yay, rain!

Really strange - doesn’t usually show up before May/June.

we will be OK because this is an El Nino weather cycle now and that is usually wetter for us.
