Hasn't changed much here - a little wider coverage now.  Forecast mostly looks to have it going east.

I started building an Ark. Been raining five days straight and by the looks of things it's not going to stop any time soon.  :thumbdown:

Getting rain (well needed) here this morning. Should be a wet week. Our lakes are bone dry.

We seemed to have missed every rain event for over two years. This is a bizarre area in the armpit.

Seems the NHC is predicting a track taking it up north and then west so it looks like you'll get that needed rain CB.
We do have a Storm enthusiast member - Circle Hooked - that tracks many different sites watching storms.  Maybe he can pipe in here and give us some insight?

Glad you're getting rain CB. No fishing this weekend. You boys may need to stay in and catch the babymama.

I've got some friends who are around the Venice area on their 40 footer.  Here's a message this morning:  "You won't believe the storm that just went thru here. 45 kt winds. Lost one fender, and had to tend the boat during the storm. double tied, double fendered..... NOAA issuing warnings all over the place. Boat leaking, I am totally soaked. Storm now has a name - Debby. Go away!!!!"

Does not sound like fun there...

Looks like we're just about out of it now, clearing on the radar, still windy though.  Tornado warnings everywhere around here though. Covers stayed on both boats and we had some 40-50 mph blasts.  I went out and tightened them down.  Much windier and I would have taken those soaking thing into the shop. I really need some 301!!
Looks like you guys up north are getting the brunt of it now.

The cover support pole in the rat boat fell down...  it looked like a jacuzzi when I came home!   I had to slide the cover into the boat slowly so i could get it to drain.  I was afraid the trailer tires were gonna pop!   :shock:
