A Powerfull Punch!

With the approaching cold front a powerful line of thunderstorms is heading thru our area as we speak. At work we were all worried about getting home before this hit and fortunately everyone should have made it home from work before the really bad rain, many people I work with have a commute up to 1 hour in good weather! I just have to drive over the Howard Franklin bridge but do not like to do it at all in bad weather. This storm will be quick moving bringing rain, high wind including possible tornadoes and behind it, cooler temps. Then another system will be moving thru Friday and Saturday. The whole Tampa Bay area is expecting rain amounts up to 3 inches. Some good news, 11/30 marked the end of the 2009 Atlantic Hurricane Season, yeah!
There were a total of 9 Named storms, three of them became hurricanes and those stayed out at sea or weekend before passing over land. Only two tropical storms made landfall. We were all very lucky this year. It was probably do to an El Nino or La Nina (I get these confused!!) some weather girl I am! Let me know how you did getting home tonight or for friends not in the Tampa Bay area please let me know how the weather is in your area.

  1. It's raining here tonight in Vermont only because it's not quite cold enough to be snowing.
    We feel fortunate to not yet be shoveling and driving in snow but worry that we may get hit extra hard later as winter presses on.
