When It Rains, It Pours!

When it rains, it pours...literally! But, since this is Florida, and it's still technically "summer" here, we expect the daily rain showers. But mix in a little Hurricane named Hermine, and you've got a doozy of a recipe for crazy weather! We dealt with the rains from Hurricane Hermine Thursday afternoon, and most of the day Friday. On Saturday, the weather started off bad, but looked promising by midday. So I thought for sure we'd have some great weather for the home opener football game of the Florida Gators on Saturday night. Boy was I wrong (and so were the meteorologists)! From the moment we entered the stadium, the skies opened up and the gods unleashed their fury. And of course, it's the one game I give up my tickets in the luxury boxes for guests of mine and choose to sit out in the bleacher seats. Big mistake! After a good soaking on Saturday night and many blessings for not catching pneumonia Sunday morning, my son and I took off to the Santa Fe River for a day of kayaking. The weather report said it would be beautiful. Mother Nature thought differently! Less than on hour into our kayaking adventure, the torrential thunderstorms and downpours hit us. Every been kayaking through a monsoon? Neither have I until today! So tomorrow, for Labor Day, I plan to do absolutely nothing! They say the weather will be gorgeous, but I'm not taking any chances. These weather clowns seem to be more wrong than right these days! Has your day ever been ruined by rain that you didn't expect? {and by the way, if any of you myLotters are meteorologists, I wasn't referring to you in my statement above...I was referring to those other clowns!}
