come. good pics from the air.

[rodeodance]

3. If they have to deal with long term flooding conditions-I wonder if they

are prepared for this?

Coastal Flooding Florida West Coast

14. Thanks. I just spoke to her.

The flooding is north of her in Fort Lauderdale. In fact, when I called her she was in her car and she said there wasn't any sign of flooding in Hollywood. That's a relief, at least for now, since that storm is getting closer to South Florida.

21. We got some very impressive rain storms last night...

In Ft Lauderdale. I'm near the Executive Airport, about fifteen munites from Hollywierd.

Tons of water quite a bit of lightning. I was out on the covered porch watching nature do her thing... but the wind and rain picked up so much I was starting to get wet.

I'm guessing the results are some light flooding in the streets, but little or no property damage as a result of last night's storm.

Right now its cloudy but quiet... I expect another rain band to come through in the next couple of hours.

8. ummm .... huh ?

http://www.cnn.com/2005/WEATHER/10/22/wilma/index.html

Not a mention of any rain at the moment in Broward.
Wilma's still kicking Cancun's ass and isn't expected to hit FL
until Monday.

Am I in a time warp ? :shrug:

11. cnn said they have had at least 6 inches in many places already.

18. Do Not Judge Me Before You Knows The Facts

She thinks Jeb Bush is a great governor, and can't understand my "problem" with Steroid Arnie.

22. cuban/americans here find it a major mortal sin to speak out against any

of the bastard bushes.

excpet MOI and a few of my cuban/american friends--very few!

[Missy M]

13. I see your anxious for her return!

:woohoo:

[RebelOne]

15. Well, if she lives south of Fort Lauderdale, there isn't any

flooding in that area. The flooding is in Oakland Park, which is in Fort Lauderdale.

[nonconformist]

16. LOL! nt

17. snicker--Do you know the difference between in-laws and outlaws?

outlaws are wanted.:D

19. Christ, there are parts of Florida that flood

everytime it rains. I lived in house in Miami that could get up to 2 - 3 feet of water in the yard during normal storms.

Florida is very porous and most of the water drains off in no time.

[jayctravis]

20. Yes, it is the tropics.

A lot of the buildings are made of concrete. The apartment complex where I lived in North Miami Beach had an alley between buildings that would become a lake...scary because there were like 16 air conditioners running in it.

23. Oakland Park flooding

My neighborhood. One block from my house. Kimberly Lakes has major drainage problems. News choppers have been outside all day covering flooding.
We got hammered last night at around 2:30-4;00 a.m. with 5-7 inches of rain with plenty of lightning and thunder. I was outside draining the swimming pool at 3:00 a.m. as the water was up to the coping. I'm not looking forward to this storm. Wish us luck, and come visit in the winter when the weather's perfect!
