Did anyone else in Central Florida get the deluge of rain Wed. morning? I came to work at Leu Garden at around 7:45am and it was storming and it rained very hard for over an hour. We got 3.15 inches here at the Garden. I live in Altamonte Springs about 12 miles north and hardly any rain.

    Got some rain, but not anywhere near the deluge you got.

    Gorgeous day in Tampa. It's hard to believe the weather was so different on the east coast.

    Howdy 🤠

    I know I'm not from Florida but we got 3in earlier in the week which is great cause I had just planted my first palmetto lol.

    Palms growing in my garden: Trachycarpus Fortunei, Chamaerops Humilis, Chamaerops Humilis var. Cerifera, Rhapidophyllum Hystrix, Sabal Palmetto 

    I wouldn’t doubt we received 3-4” downtown yesterday.  We needed it and all the vegetation looks so perked up and healthy today.
