[QUOTE="Whiskeyman, post: 743378, member: 13556"] We are now included in the hurricane warning. The winds have picked up quite a bit this evening and tonight, but not yet to the tropical storm level consistently. Meteorologists have reported that this is predominantly a rain event, and I can vouch for that. My neighbor's 8-inch rain gauge has filled up once today, and is on the way to being filled again. My back yard is almost completely under water, with the golf course fairway behind us looking like this: [ATTACH=CONFIG]345541._xfImport[/ATTACH] This photo was taken about five to six hours ago. The water level has steadily risen since then and covers the entire base of the pine tree on the right. I don't have photos of the front yard, but many parts of it are also under water. Fortunately, when they built my house, they graded the foundation to about 1.5 to 2 feet above the previous elevation, which makes mine one of the last houses to have flooding issues. Knock on wood that it doesn't get that bad tonight, because if it does, a lot of my neighbors are really in trouble. There are already a lot of pumps running tonight to keep water levels around some homes from getting too high. @[URL="https://nikonites.com/member-12827-stm.html"]STM[/URL], Scott, it looks like the Pensacola/Perdido Key area is now getting hit by the front right quadrant of the storm. Thank goodness that it is no stronger than it is. Tonight is going to be a long night for a lot of folks! WM [/QUOTE]
