I was in FL for Andrew. Took some growing up to realize that was late for an "A" storm. Lots of lessons learned from that storm, one of them for me was putting tape on the windows doesn't do anything and is a b**** to remove in the post-storm heat and humidity. Family still throws their plastic patio furniture in the pool though, fun memories of sitting in underwater chairs.
0.08" of rain so far in July 2022, in the so-called Cary rain hole.
High today of 100.2 IMBY.
Lawn is dead, but meh. Underground watering for the garden is working great.
Something (to me anyway) looks interesting in the central Bahamas.

Watching the Pikes Peak Hill Climb, loved seeing the snow on the top.
Many friends have braved the spectator experience there and have experienced lightning, snow, and hail that took out a lot of glass.
Good line right now in the RDU area. So far picked up .14 as of 5:30pm. It was mostly sun with that "here's some more humidity" downpours for the day.... as it usually is when I have to work outside.
Currently 82F w/ 71 dew at 5:30pm before this line of storms.
It went west? The livestream said "a nominal first stage flight". If it did go west that's pretty bad. The brief shot of Florida after first stage separation looked like it did go east.
1.38" from this storm today, WRAL says we're going to get another wave tonight. Plenty for the plants & veggies. Very tropical feel to this storm.
Lots of small creek flooding in the area.
NASA's got their U2 flying around the storm at 60k feet:
