That's what 11 days of straight rain will get you... Today is the first day in almost two weeks that I've been able to see the sun and the sky... Good for the water table, bad for the psyche...

Just means that they will be running wave runners instead of Nascar at the track for awhile. LOL!!!

i'm 90mi. west of daytona and thankfully we didn't get AS heavy rain here as there. really no flooding here. unfortunately for daytona and points south the storm just sat there churning and churning and raining and raining. now it's gone to texas. finally.

I swear that is the first thing that came to mind. Road trip anyone?
