Re: Ernesto Conditions in Your Area

Lesli - be patient! We've been getting the heavy rain (heavy for Ernesto) down the road from you in Naples for the last couple of hours. It's coming!




Watch the weather radar -- see the Cape Haze peninsula? (It's there west of Charlotte Harbor.) It's showing rain over us -- NOTHING. My rain gauge is DRY. *LOL*

I watched it this morning when I got up, it looks like the storms kind of "skip" us, sometimes actually going around us, or dying and reforming on either side of us. Not surprising, regular t-storms tend to do this to us to unless it's a well-defined line of them. But it's very common for t-storms coming from the Gulf to go up the harbor and miss us, or from the east to slide down the harbor out to the Gulf.

Update: 10:19am

It's FINALLY started sprinking. Sprinkling. Barely. *LOL*
